    These cheap, lightweight, Chinese made, high frequency, transformerless, inverters offer much shorter life expectacies and far poorer surge capacities than low frequency, transformer based inverters. And because they don't have a built in output transformer to provide galvanic isolation, they can damage your appliances. Google it if you don't believe me.

    I am NOT an expert. With that said it sounds like it is not so much an injector. Liners is my hunch. White smoke looks to be steam n oil. Keep monitoring yer fluids as I think coolant side is finding its way into the cyls. Ol Detroits can take a lot before they give up. If yer temps and power are "stable" I would just remain vigilant but keep on grading. They are a really incredible engine

    At our Minnesota fishing shack we pump lake water for cleaning. Drilled wells in the area have a significant risk of arsenic contamination which is difficult to treat. We only drink lake water after we have boiled and filtered it. There is also a public spring on our way to town which has excellent drinking water. The spring water is free but the flow rate is too low to fill an IBC tote in a reasonable length of time. There is usually one or two others filling jugs at the spring whenever we go. Thanks for the video !

    We have a 45kw natural gas generator for this and to run our whole house and 8 tons of air conditioning plus the electric kitchen and a 42u rack and some other things like 2 BEVs and a bev zero turn mower. It runs 1,800 rpm and is liquid cooled. We also have a 22kw diesel on a trailer, a multiquip with dial a phase on the screen for Winter outages and longer duration ones where the natural gas isn't available for some reason. It's 1,800 rpm too but also turbocharged 4 banger diesel instead of a v8 natural gas, propane, and gasoline in the 45kw. In the Spring, Summer, and most of the Fall the natural gas is only used for hot water and to dry our clothes (tankless heater and a 9 cubic feet gas dryer) and 2 100k btu gas furnaces, 2 40k btu gas fireplaces so we like having the diesel in heating season if we need it. I hired an electrician to do all of this stuff though. He pulled the permits and subcontracted the 30kw of solar too, it was all installed in 3 or 4 days. House has 200a of service and 2 200a braker boxes.

    What would a kwh per gallon be? Is there a way to maximize it by setting rpm?

    • @offgridroadrunnerranch
      @offgridroadrunnerranch Месяц назад

      The way to maximize is to charge as fast as possible and then only charge between 20 percent to 80. It takes about the same time to go from 0 to 80 percent as it takes to go from 80 to 100 percent. As for cost per kilowatt, it is hard to do the math because the is running during the charge, but we live desert and the ac is 90 percent on the power we use and per day in summer was costing 1 1/4 gallons of propane so solar is really needed to reduce cost but it works if you lived in a dark climate like Alaska

    I looked at doing this with my 10/11kw Generac, but EG4 says you must use an inverter-generator with no more than 3% THD. Generac says these generators have a THD of <5%. Supposedly the EG4 inverters can be damaged by the higher THD and voids the warranty. The recommended way around this is to use the Generac to power an EG4 Chargeverter that charges the batteries directly. The newest Chargeverter can even control the Generator for start/stop based on the state of charge in the batteries.

    • @offgridroadrunnerranch
      @offgridroadrunnerranch Месяц назад

      I believe most of the thd comes from under sized generators. Eg4 suggested to use double the sizes gen to make sure it doesn't struggle with load and this system is more than double the inverter size. Thanks for comment.

    • @mattcwagner
      @mattcwagner Месяц назад

      @@offgridroadrunnerranch Yeah, I agree that THD comes from undersized generator. Well, if EG4 suggested it, then you're good to go. Nice for me to know also. Do you happen to know, in the 6000xp settings can you limit the load on the generator like you can with a Chargeverter? My Generac isn't as big as yours, I'm a little afraid of causing it too much load.

    • @offgridroadrunnerranch
      @offgridroadrunnerranch Месяц назад

      @mattcwagner the eg4 alowws you to set the size of the generator so I am assuming that is what limits the draw. Not sure 100% but I believe the 26kw gen was larger than the biggest setting i could put down for gen size i believe the 2 eg4s had a max setting of 24kw

I also have a 10KW Enphase microinverter system, line side connected.. next will be an EG4 GridBOSS and FlexBOSS21, along with (2) of the EG4 PowerPro WallMount 14.3KW Lithium batteries.. the house uses 50KW/day, so on low solar or grid failure days, the generator will startup for a few hours to charge the batteries back up…. So should always have power, even during extended winter storms and grid down situations.. already bought the 2 wire start kit, to be ready. Now just need $14K to get all the EG4 equipment 😬

      Off grid back in the day meant you were a hermit. Now, it means what it says off the grid not connected to the grid at all. Now technically we are connected to the internet but not threw a cable but with starlink these days anyone can get that. But if our internet goes down, it doesn't affect our lives. Our power, water, and lives do not change. I don't think its a bad thing to teach people how to live without needing the government to give you everything and I think that is really the common ground on the 2 extreme sides of the off grid debate
