We torture test the VERY FIRST MidNite Solar Rosie Inverter

As a testing and proving ground for MidNite Solar equipment we get everything first. We have been running successfully offgrid on the Rosie for several days now but today we put it to a very harsh test. Starting the large Ingersoll Rand air compressor is something every inverter we have tried has failed to do. Will the Rosie be up to the challenge?

Have you ever measured the the in rush amps on that Air Compressor?

@rbass225 5 месяцев назад

Great video and test! The only way to know where the line is, is to go over it. It's great that it failed safely, came right back up ready to go without damage. I also see in one of your replies below that the LRA was 110 on the grid. Great info.

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 месяца назад

Yes and the Rosie was handicapped a lot in this test. Lots of battery cable length and the compressor is a long ways away on the AC side. One day we will get the system set up better and do more testing

Hi Ryan, a bit off topic, but in this video you have two XWpros & Midnite Schneider e-Panels running side by side in a Mater/Slave scenario. We would LOVE a video on how you hook this config up as its a big selling point over the Schneider MINI-PDP !!

I love at the very moment in the video where Sue is going to start up the air compressor and you all ready to go - BUT WAIT!! This Commercial Could Change Your Life!!.... lol...

@9:40 that poor scope! LOL Man, that was nasty sounding, but so cool to see! I enjoy these videos.. even though most of it is over my head. :)

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 года назад

The sound is the inductors in the inverter hammering. The good news is nothing blew up lol. Hopefully you got the upper hand on that power line and conduit. Watching you battle that rock and hoping it comes together soon for you

@benssolarandbattery 2 года назад

It looks like this thing tried til the death to start that compressor. It seems that some other inverters will shut down via software before they actually overload. Glad it restarted!

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 года назад

Yes, I am told by Midnite Engineering that was the intended response, It is never allowed to spike the AC voltage but it can brown out a few times over a few seconds. This of course is software and will be tinkered with based on feedback

@BrianKrahmer Год назад

can you please share what model of air compressor that is? i was wanting to get something that looks about that size, and am off-grid.

@alandonnels7382 Год назад

question about the Rosie. Most of the High Frequency inverters I have looked at don't have a battery temperature sensor. Does the Rosie have one?

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Год назад

Yes the Rosie comes with a BTS and Remote battery voltage sense and a couple Aux outputs. As well as support for the WBjr and other stuff I am sure I am forgetting

@MountainMariner 2 года назад

Is there a way to add a soft starter to the air compressor?

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Год назад

Good question, In our case it runs on the grid so we do not worry about it

Still thinking about the XW PRO paralleled (off grid)... beautiful set up!

Having run XW's XW+'s and now XW PRO's I would say if your goal is used look for the Plus not the Pro, That said don't discount a stacked set of Rosies either they work very well

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 года назад

So far so good, We accidently fed her 74 volts dc on the battery yesterday, all she did was stop inverting

@SoutheastOhioSolarHaven 2 года назад

Will the Rosie be adapted to communicate with any of the Classic Series charge controllers

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 года назад

Yes, they should have the ability to communicate through the(coming soon)comms box.

@theheathkitshop2424 2 года назад

Do you think the length of the wire run might be an issue?

@ursodermatt8809 2 года назад

maybe not so much the 120V, but the DC from the battery to the inverter

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Год назад

I suspect the DC wiring plays more into it. We have a lot of cable between the XW and the actual battery unfortunately

@OffGridandOutdoors Год назад

So 2 XWs won't start that compressor? Oddly Interesting.

@carlosreyes6448 5 месяцев назад

did the xw pros start the compressor?

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 месяца назад

Does Rosie have Time of use settings? There is nothing in the manual about it.

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 8 месяцев назад

Yes she does, I forget exactly where in the menus now but I think it is "Setup --> Inverter config --> AC input" if memory serves. I can try and do a quick video on this mode today so check back a little later

One 15k might be able to do it. It can do 125A for 100ms and 100A for 10s.

@sadlert Год назад

If the pair of XW's won't do out, there's almost no chance for the two sol-ark's. There is quite a bit of video proof on youtube that shows the XW is stronger than the sol-ark 12k's at starting.

@@niktak1114 Yes, on paper the Sol-Arks look great, and for most things, they are great, but the one thing they don’t do well is start large motors, even when the stats promise otherwise. Sol-ARKS are becoming famous for this one weakness. Too bad really, they were my first choice.
