VDC ripple improvements

Good morning,

The results are in and we made a simplified general sheet for everybody to use at will.

We do not see any difference between a lithium and a lead acid battery having to cope with a ripple, other that the lead acid is smoothening the ripple itself a little and the lithium does not, and that it is also battery capacity related, e.g. the bigger the battery the better it copes with ripple.

The ripple we created was a resistor in the positive wire to the battery from the inverter as that is the most common issue that people use too small and/or too long wiring, not tightened enough lugs, too many fuses, bad fuses and/or holders, not enough battery capacity, etc .

We were able to eliminate that ripple easily by 50% to 90%, pending the power taken or loaded.

See the chart attached with our solutions for the 3 most commonly used voltages and for the most common single inverter systems in our green solutions world.

These systems can either be used for single phase and for 3 phase, the result will be the same.

I hope that with the help of this sheet there will be less issues; with ripple alarms, premature battery failures, premature inverter capacitors failures, flickering lights, overload alarms, etc.

Regards, Jeroen.
