If you dropped 5amp off of each phase that’s
480volt x 5amp = 2,400watts saved
2,400watts x 12 hrs x 365.25days / 1,000 = 10,519.2kWH per year saved
10,519.2kWh x $0.11 = $1,157.112 saved per year

I power washed the coils on my AHUs.I dropped 5 amps off of each phase.480volt unit. What is my cost savings over the year if they run for 12 hours each day 365 days a year. My cost is .11cent per klh What is the cost savings. I power washed the coils on my AHUs.I dropped 5 amps off of each phase.480volt unit.

I don't have a diagram handy, but you want your positive (+) side of the solar panels connected to the positive (+) of the charge controller input, do the same with the negative (-). Now connect the charge controller battery side or output to your battery in the same manner, positive (+) to positive (+) and same with the negative (-). Then the battery gets connected to the inverter the same way. Then the inverter can have devices plugged into it directly, or you can wire it to your circuit breaker box to power a certain set of devices/outlets, or you can have it power entire home. If you are connecting the inverter to the breaker box, install a separate breaker for the inverter with it's own outlet. This way you can switch from power company to solar, or solar to power company. If used as a backup, you can turn off mains from power company then turn on breaker from inverter so your electricity doesn't get passed through the lines to people working on the power lines. Isaac,

Gas, solar, etc.? This will help me understand how long the generator will be running each day. Thanks! Tom,

Assume no central air, and oil fired furnaces (no electric heat). Thank you. How many average 2,000 Sq Ft homes in the northeast would a 76 KW generator be able to power?

That can't be correct. 120V x 50amps = 6,000watts.. Most likely the 50amps is on the 12v side of the power supply 12v x 50a = 600 watts. Which seems more likely. The power supply will probably say 600watts on it. With a 600watt pull that would be 600watt / 120volt = 5amp. So your computer power supply will be pulling 5amp. Jean-Marc,

it says on the information, that the power supply can generate up to 50 amps of power, my question is, i live in an appartement and my electric box uses fuses, i got a 20 amp fuse and a 25 fuse, my question is, does a power supply convert volts into amp or smthing or will it take raw amp and make my buse break all the time?
