i want to use this for a 48V inverter system with 4 battery banks (@48V 200amps each) this adequate? Of course the banks each wont be supplying 200

Absolutely not, these are Max 32 Volts. Always check the manufacturers specs. http://www.bluesea.com/products/9001e/e-Series_Selector_Battery_Switch

Don't see why this switch would not work. The switch is rated at 350 amps continuous. Not sure why you would pick the two battery 9001e switch over the 9003e single battery switch although there doesn't seem to any price difference between the two of them.

As stated on the Blue Sea website this switch is rated for maximum 32v and 350A continuous current. http://www.bluesea.com/products/9001e

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OK but if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

Maximum voltage is usually because the chance of arcing, lower voltage can be closer spacing on electrical contacts then higher voltage. The max current wouldn't be a problem as the power handling capacity is determined by the switch's internal resistance and the current flow... the power loss across the switch would be determined by the square of the current flow multiplied by the switch's internal resistance (I squared R). The internal resistance would be constant when compared to supplied voltage to switch.

No it will only handle 32 volts dc, or at least that's what it says on the switch?

It is rated at 350A continuous so I think you should be fine. I can't remember but maybe rated at 1000A for short period (starting) I installed it in my boat to separate 2 800 CCA batteries or so both could be used to start if necessary. No problems at all. Not even a little warm. Not sure about the voltage though.

u mite want to get a larger rated switch what size battery cable r u using switch posts r 3/8

This switch is rated for up to 24 volt systems...The 32 volts is for UL specs...It would handle the 200 amps with no problem as it rated to 350 continuous and 600 surge. I'm not sure that the switch is heavy gage enough for the 48 volt system that would be putting much more constant current thru the switch and may fail when you need it most...but then I am not an electrician. As for your needing a 5 position switch it would have to be very large to hold all the cables.

The inverter should handle the start up spike just fine and the normal pumping will not be a problem. You might end up being a bit lean on your energy production with just one solar panel, depending on your energy draw.

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

I think the manufacture should clarify this issue. four wires from one battery bank or two wires from each of two separate bat. banks or can you use a jumper to connect the the studs on the inverter ???? {buss bar}

Dear customer, this system can work with either 12volts or 24volts battery. Besides battery and inverter, this kit is complete.

specs for the unit say .6A no load (standby) current draw so eventually it would pull battery dead if you did not have any charging on your battery bank, probably not a bad idea if leaving un-attended for long periods to have a battery disconnect for the inverter so you don't have some glitch that would allow inverter to possibly short and start a fire.

I have had four one hundred watt panels hooked up to this same charge controller for nearly a year and it works fine. At first, I had them hooked up with the panels at 12v and the battery bank at 12v, then I switched the hookup to two sets of two panels in series to put the panels at 24v with the battery bank remaining at 12v. I get a little more power out of the panels this way because a lower amperage means a smaller voltage drop between the panels and charge controller, even though the wattage from the panels is the same. It works fine. With an MPPT controller, the voltage of the panels is not dumped directly into the batteries so you can hook it up either way. If you hook the panels in sets to reach 24v, then your only limit is the 30 amps to the battery bank. Anything above that is simply lost.

Sorry but unless you have a serious Battery and Inverter setup. No. Dont get me wrong it is a good kit. I have two of them. but most Refrig and freezers need alot more amps than the kit provides. But it cold be used to keep a Battery charged and a bigger inverter could work. Check out the web folks are using these kits to make solar generators with good results.

As Long as you got a battery bank , I say give it a shot, because the inverter will trip if it cant manage the load and all you have to do is re-set

It's impossible to answer your question without knowing how much load you will be running on the inverter or what your peak current draw will be from your battery bank. My maximum current draw from the battery bank is 176 amps. My peak current can be over 200 for a short period. I am 10 feet from the battery bank and I use 4/0 cable with a 300 amp fuse in the positive cable. Keep in mind if you use 4/0 cable you will need and adaptor to connect it to the inverter. The inverter connections will only accept 2/0 cable.

Should work. But i suggest to find 24v DC - AC inverter and hook it directly to your batteries. Converting from 24V to 12V and then to AC voltage is not efficient at all.
1939723
No this wont work effectively. You should size the voltage on your battery bank to the voltage of your inverter. Ie; 24v battery bank and a 24v inverter. This component is only used to step the voltage down from 24v to 12v for a load. Ie; 24v battery bank and inverter with the transformer stepping down the voltage to power 12v lights (or any other12v load).

we bought that kit the inverterwas too small for what we needed to do we bought the 6000 it does a great job we are running for 100 watt solar panel 6 /6 volt batterywe run it from 12 o'clock in the afternoon 2 ,1 o'clock in the morning then we lost power we are living in a 40 foot trailer we plan on adding a 900 wind generator and 6 more batteries that should do the trick but the 1500 watt inverter just wasn't enough hope this was help

Batteries don't damage the inverter if they are connected the right way, you can have 1 battery or 20 batteries on your system, more batteries will only give you more backup time without hurting the inverter

Yes, #4 will easily handle a 500W inverter. You could use smaller, 6 or even 8 if you keep the length short. I have this kit on my 1500 watt inverter.

There should be battery back-up in parallel with solar panels to provide adequate current for operation. If there is a 4000 watt rating for the inverter, the battery should have 340A available for the inverter.

Depends on the size of your battery string. I have four deep cycle batteries and it would run it for a bit. When running the inverter I have plenty of power to run most everything. Including 120 and 12 volt loads.
