When do the fans run?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fans in the Any-Grid PSW-H are always running but at reduced speeds when the inverter is operating at low power. At low power, fans run at about 30% speed and adjust based on output or PV input power. They are speed-controlled and generally run under 60 dBa, with around 35 dBa at 30% speed. It is advisable not to place the inverter in living areas due to noise and ventilation requirements, especially for rooms containing lead-acid batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre there any requirements if you install thin film modules?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhocos does not impose specific requirements, but you should consult the thin film module manufacturer for any grounding needs. The Any-Grid PSW-H allows for various battery grounding configurations but does not permit grounding of the positive or negative PV terminals. If grounding of PV terminals is required by your thin film module manufacturer, the Any-Grid PSW-H may not be suitable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the largest and smallest battery bank one can use with Any-Grid PSW-H Inverters?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Any-Grid PSW-H inverters, the primary consideration is nominal voltage. Match the battery bank's nominal voltage with the inverter's (e.g., 24 Vdc battery bank for a 24 Vdc inverter). The practical size limits are influenced by system size, budget, and space. The minimum recommended size is 200 Ah of battery capacity per PSW-H for lead-based batteries. For lithium batteries, ensure the battery and its BMS handle the inverter's current requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the maximum PV current that the Any-Grid PSW-H inverter can handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe maximum usable current per input for the PSW-H 5KW-120\/48V model is 18 Adc. With two independent MPPT inputs, each can handle up to 18 Adc. Exceeding this current may cause the MPPT to limit input current and result in efficiency losses. Ensure the PV voltage does not exceed the inverter's maximum voltage rating (250 Vdc for the PSW-H 5KW-120\/48V).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the warranty for the Any-Grid PSW-H?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe warranty period for the Any-Grid PSW-H is 3 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phocos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46530654077154,"sku":"AB-PLC-CAN","price":360.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/5090\/1474\/files\/Any-Bridge_2022-07-08.jpg?v=1751452316","url":"https:\/\/greenvistaliving.com\/products\/phocos-any-bridge-gateway-phocoslink-cloud-remote-monitoring","provider":"Green Vista Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
