Axpert invertors

Ok so i need the 5Kva Inverter either the Axpert or RCT Axpert who can help?
 
Ok so after much research I have decided to purchase the below

1x Axpert MKS 5KVA Inverter

4x Deltec Betta BC-6CNFJ-100 12V 100 Ah Lead Crystal Battery

Only remaining question for me is how the batteries be connected in series or parallel?

Thanks

If the inverter is the 48 Volt model you need to wire the 4 batttery in series.
 
Hi,

Is this feasible?

I dont particularly want to wire this into the DB board... I'd rather keep it separate from that.

Is it possible to have it hooked up to charge via a plug?

There are a handful of things i want to power - as in 4x LED downlights, tv, hp server, router, so my desired power is very low.
And i did see the Axpert inverters do come in smaller sizes like 3KVA and 1.5KVA which suits my needs a bit more.

SO it is OK to plug it into a "plug"?

Next problem I have is my DB is in my kitchen and would have to install Inverter and batteries in garage spare room.

Distance from garage room to Db is 7 meters , now what size cable would I need to use to ensure minimum loss of power ?

Thanks again for all the help

Check the manual. It suggests 8AWG, which is 3.2mm or 8.3mm2. So the normal 4mm wiring normally used for ovens and pool pumps should be fine.

Losses on the 220V side will be minimal. It is more important to keep the battery cable short.

I have a 1kVA for lights and TV/Study/alarm. But it is wired to the DB, because I want al the lights to work. If you want it separate, then you'll have to use other lights.

Thankfully - the lights in question are not wired into the DB board... the previous owners of the house set these 4 lights, which are built into shelving in a way that i can get at the connection both easily and out of sight.

Cool, then it'll be easy... You can make a portable setup - box for batteries and mount the UPS/inverter to the side, with a plug lead going to the wall, and a plug socket on the output of the inverter.

I have an Axpert wired into my DB, but my step father is building a box just like I mentioned above - I'll try to get a photo... should be done this week.

That would be awesome.... and also - i see you are also in Cape Town... did you source your equipment locally?
I dont really want to buy equipment online... I want to buy from a brick and mortar shop if i can.

Please help me here with the above batteries how long can I run my load of 2060watts ?
 
48v * 100ah = 4800 vah
(4800/2060 )* 60 = 139 mins
But your batteries will be 100% empty and will be damaged
Suggest getting more bateries
Safe discharge % is 50%
Work on 70 mins

Is the 50% applicable to Lead Chrystal too ?
 
I generally (it's not a rule of thumb set in stone), work on +- 110Ah per 1KVA of inverter (not load) - this also depends on the voltage requirements in terms of the inverter though. That basically ensures that an inverter under maximum load, will survive 2 odd hours of loadshedding.

Remember, when the inverter is overloaded, it will warn you (alarms). When the batteries are overloaded, they will just die and you loose power (and damage your batteries).
