If I have 2 of these and they pull 30 or more amps would it potientially fry my 30amp controller?

Yes definitely. When I purchased four of these I upgraded to a midnite solar classic 250 . You need a controller that is rated MORE than 60 amps you hve to also take in mind if you will be adding more panels in the future then you will have to go even bigger. So take your time and do all your homework before you decide to buy . Email me at psitsolutions1@gmail.com for any additional help .

I think you need to check your controller specs, but I know some controllers may just shut off to prevent damage. Also note these panels are higher voltage which may not be compatible with your controller. I bought a charge controller that won't work with these because the voltage may go up to 45V on these panels. Now I run two of these with the Morningstar MPPT 45A charge controller. Morningstar has a calculator on their site that will confirm whether a planned setup will work with their charge controllers or not. I am planning on adding one more panel to my setup. The 45A MPPT charge controller can handle 3 of these panels. Good luck!

These panels put out 5.25 amps each, so a 30 amp controller should be able to handle five of these panels. A charge controller is used to keep your batteries from being overcharged and as the battery state of charge increases, the controller allows fewer amps to get by it. A solar array that exceeds the capacity of the controller could cause system damage. Do not confuse volts and amps, remember that you are working with DC rather than AC, and short circuiting across the positive and negative wires is to be carefully avoided.

Yes. they will damage the 30 amp controller in a few years. one of my 30 amp controller last for 2 and 1/2 years.Thanks.

No i fried this amp running 2 12"opti drive subs at 1ohm. Desent amp but cant take being pushed hard

Only if you isolate the batteries for each controller, thus having 2 20 amp systems. Get a 40 amp controller.

15 amp is fine as long as the rest of the circuit is not overloaded. Mine run off a dedicated circuit, 15amp, and I have no issues. You run into trouble with overloading the circuit that plug is on. Clear as mud, right? Trial and error, if you are blowing your circuits, you are overloaded.

You'd have to run a splitter to allow for a brace of fans, but the most important question is, what do both fans combined draw? I'd say the controller is good for 30 amps maximum draw. As long as you do not exceed that, you should be OK.

I don't think that would be a good idea.. It's always best go by manufacture recommended wiring and amplification. Exceeding the power input beyond its capacity on any electronics could cause things to quite literally fry.

Dont buy this amp. I just got one and it fried in under a month. Ph5000d should have 4 40amp fuses. The ph3000d has only two. P.s. buy rockford fosgate or mtx or kicker. Plz save yourself a huge headach. Good luck

Just a note these controllers wont do zip when the input amps are below 15. The two Panels most likely will not enough to fire is up. DM 145 Watt panel crank out on;y 7.7 each amps on a good day. I Bought this CC and had an electrician (Who Wasnt Cheep) confirm this about the CC. Dont get me wrone thee CC will work but you will need to put three 124 watt panels on it. If you want a CC controller that will do the two with ease. Check out the HF CC 30 amp 500 watt CC by thunderbolt. Its about the same amout of cash on amazon. Good luck on your decision.PS If you go with this one the manual stinks. Learn chinese Just a note these controllers wont do zip when the input amps are below 15.

This will work if your fans are low amps. If they are industrial type high amps it will break fast.

Yeah, but it might take a little longer than a higher amped DC adapter. And it will hear up and smell like burning plastic. I fear this is a fire hazard and threw one away cause I just didn't trust it.

The instructions don't say you should, I never have in 20 years of use. Some I know have used a 30 amp fuse. To be safe you probably should. One of those things I am to do but never do.

Hello, thank you for your interest. I can't see how it would be a problem. As long as the pick up is functioning correctly, the amp should work well.

If your not changing the amp stick with the same ohm. Otherwise it might sound like crap or worse and blow something.

Not sure of amps, but I have 800 wtts total on a 30 amp controler for almost two years and no problems.X

U may git by with it a lil while, but switch is not enough for a constant 35 amp pull...will live a while with 35 amp momentary surge, but not entended for this muchamp's

I would not recommend it! Sounds like you need a 30 to 60 amp PS for that minimun!

My panel is 50W, and this controller could handle more. It would make sense to me to wire them in parallel to keep the voltage around 12-14V and double the wattage.
