I'm curious to know why you chose 3x 5000 MP2 inverters over a single larger 15000VA or 2x 8000/10000VA inverters. For redundancy perhaps?
❤ what an amazing demonstration. Ty for sharing
The fluke 107 is pretty awesome for automotive and heavy-duty mechanics. I've used mine for years on Caterpillar equipment and love it
You cant expect he meter to measure that accurate low voltage which measure higher voltage. Thats the justification I ge got.
Im curious why you went with LiFePO4 for the starting batteries. I will admit, my boat is significantly less complicated, but I maintained a maintenance free sealed lead acid as a separate start battery. I am also curious why you went with such a large engine start batt. Was that for redundancy in the event of a failed house bank?
Hi there. At the beginning of the project my plan was to go with a mixed chemistry design approach, similar to what you mentioned you have done for your boat. I spent many hours working with the professional engineer that has designed the system on whether to use all LiFePO4. As we evaluated the design goals of the system, including power capability, safety, back up and redundancy and a slew of other design considerations, the use of these CALB 230 cells is a good fit for this application. I was able to max out the amount of kWHs available to the boat and along with the ability to parallel the two systems together without having to use different battery charging and management techniques actually makes for a simpler and more robust design. Hope this explanation helps.
While corroded a bit, not bad for a 22 year old system. Keep up the videos!

That is a BEAST of a system fair play those are some amps gettign smashed!! One thing I will say I've noticed on my Victron 24v inverters are they see to lose 25+% of the power in or power out due to inneficiency - the other system I have with an RS48/6000 is SOOOOOOO much more efficient it's quite bonkers. I'd like to do a test etc for people to actually see the difference as I believe most people don't realise they're throwing away between quarter and a third of their power use with the older kit's poor roundtrip efficiency?
I will spend time measuring the roundtrip efficiencies.
Everyone tests with resistive loads only.....
Thanks for the reply, but I do not understand your point.
@@Sailing_Meltemi Resistive loads are the easy way to test and present a very unrealistic load. Unless you are using resistive heating only on your inverter (WOFTAM) then not proving much. Put real-life load simulation that means the use of reactive loads. You know, the ones that show the difference between high-frequency and low frequency inverters and the real currents needed to feed them.
@@bentheguru4986 Thanks, I learned something new today!
@@bentheguru4986Grüße ich nutze Victron Multi RS Solar und fahre mit einem Gesantwirkungsgrad von 93%. Bei 5kW Lasten liegt der Multi RS bei 95% Wirkungsgrad.
Cool water heater test
Thanks 👍
Decent sized rig! Out of interest when building that all from scratch anyway why not go 48v and improve efficiency lower costs on cabling etc?
This system is for my sailboat with a substantial number of 24v devices on the boat including a 20hp bow thruster that draws 950amps when running.
Well that makes total sense!!! :D@@Sailing_Meltemi
Looks organized and clean 🎉
Thank you 😊
How much did this test setup cost? Is this going into a boat, or is it purely to see what can be done with these components?
Hi there. All of these Victron and REC-BMS components will be installed in my boat. I have a few hundred dollars into wiring and circuit breaker boxes to be able to tie into the grid in the hangar that will not be reused. Plus, some of the test equipment was purchased to make it easier to test and generate the data I needed.
Victron low frequency, transformer based inverters are so much more advanced and longer lasting than the low budget EG4 6000XP inverters that everyone else seems to be hyping.
Great feedback and good to know.
Victron baut selbst in Zukunft mehr HF Hybridwechselrichter mit Mppt's, Multi RS, Multi RS19 usw.
I bought the 378fc as an industrial apprentice. My initial impressions of the tool were not that great especially considering the price but it is growing on me. It does work if you use it for its intended purpose.
Great point. However, the person that talked me into buying my own unit has one that is much more accurate measuring DC voltage at low levels than mine. Something has changed in their design.
@@Sailing_Meltemi I only just got mine. I'm hoping I have the new design.
@@TuffHtKingswood I told that the older design is better.
@@Sailing_Meltemi Damn I misread that. I'll have to check against another reliable meter.
Did it all work well when you ran up? I couldn't get the REC & Wakespeed to work properly on the Cerbo's CAN port even with speeds set to match - possibly I never tried changing speed of the REC though. Ended up setting up the WS500 pulley ratios and alt temp when connected to CAN port and moved over to the BMS port so WS500 controlled by REC, so no data displayed on the Cerbo/Touch. Would be great if your system works since looks like the new Cerbo doesn't have a BMS port.👍
Yes, I changed the speed on the REC-BMS to 250 kbs and everything appears to be working as expected. I used the REC WiFi module to access the REC-BMS. The only trick is that you need to reboot the REC-BMS after changing the CAN bus speed.
Glad you sorted it out. When in your other vid the battery showed up in the BMS.CAN port but not the VE.CAN I was wondering if your REC was set to the right baud rate. BMS.CAN is 500 and VE.CAN is 250. Just getting started with a similar setup.
Thanks, I should have checked the REC BMS Can speed sooner, but it I missed that step. The REC BMS WiFi interface does not make it easy to spot.
Good luck on your project.
@@Sailing_Meltemi Thanks! I have been wanting to upgrade my house bank for some time, but have been a bit less than enthused by the "drop in" solution as it is not very elegant. I narrowed it down to the WS500 (which on my sailboat is the primary non grid charging source) with victron equipment. I had been looking at some of the victron communication capable batteries, but they did not appear to integrate as tightly as I'd like. The Rec BMS solution makes it an elegant centrally controlled system: as it should be! Thanks for posting your video.
The Fluke 378 has a Low Pass Filter built in for taking load side measurements of VFD’s, that could be affecting your reading
Thanks for the reply. I had not realized this. I sent the unit back and Fluke admitted to a design problem with the 378/377, but would not say exactly what it was. They ended up taking a new unit, sending it through their mfg/repair process and returning the brand new unit to me.
Bill - if you hold the camera horizontally, we could see all 3 meters side by side rather than 1 at a time. Darwin didn't favor that variant of human evolution with 2 eyes in a vertical column as opposed to side by side. I'm the idiot who specified Bill get the fluke 377 for accurate (100's of As) large current measurements I could trust. I tested my (old) 377 against an HP 6.5 digit DVM that is NIST cal'ed 2023 and *my* 377 is dead nuts on, to 0.1V which is as close as it gets. Admittedly, it's for indication measurements, but there is something different in his just recently made 377 than my several years old 377. Since we're just looking at stable DC values, a low pass filter shouldn't affect them. It's concerning that if the meter can't measure it's easiest (most meter-native) function of x1 DCV, low range - then how far off will the scaled measurements (ex x100 DCV) be?
@@Sailing_MeltemiI wonder what it was, glad I seen this video I want to purchase one soon
@@Sailing_Meltemidon’t give that news I just bought one.
