Wantomake,
Loving hearing from you. Like the coffee part too, Just had mine - feel better.
I'll try to answer a few questions I think I see in your posts.
No there is no input toground. Here's What the GDT does: Once its break over Voltage
is reached and passed (90 volts in this case)Then regardless of the input voltage the
voltage that it will allow thru DROPS to or around 60 volts. The OTHER voltage that is needed comes from the ground via the ground rod grid line (GREEN LINE) . In this case that voltage is supplied by the Utility Company through it's own grounding system. Loving It ! So did B&L in Brazil !
Instead of the Utility Company supplying ALL the AMPERAGE the CAPTOR ALSO supplies
AMPERAGE by INDUCTING it INTO the # 6 AWG wire with it's turn and a half around the LOOP COIL.
The Smart Charger and Inverter are not in the picture because I am strictly using
Utility Company Power in the case. NO batteries, No Inverter, No chargers of any kind.
Do you have Utility power at your shop or No ?
If you use an inverter that has a built in GFCI as a plug in it may auto kick off when you switch it on. I purposely used the Go Power 300 watt inverter because it did not have
a GFCI plug in - It would just growl like a mad dog and maybe shut of or not.
You can also just build whats in the photo and the take it up to you house if you have any ground rods there.
Any way, what ever route you go give me a holler back when you can.
My new monthly utility bill account starts today so I am going to use it to run my frig and microwave for all of this new time and then compare bill time- use hours and cost
for this period. It should for sure be less. I will post all that info here on the forum when it comes in.
Enough talk.
Thanks J ,
Clarence
