Narrative: Got up really early, like 7 AM to get ready to do an inside service today. Drove to the school at 7:30 and D.E.’s son was waiting on me. We were totally rushed for the entire service, but it went well overall. Packing went ok and we went out with J+J afterwards for some Mexican food.
Had a LONG 4 hour nap before wasting away the evening making plans for Next Sunday. I bought some cables and made some design documents before retiring for the evening.
Nevada is in good shape, the cameras and Home Automation are working very well so far. The pump house door is still closed.
I charged my 48V battery banks a couple days ago and let them rest a couple days before testing them. I connected one of the two Eaton 1500W UPS units and put a 500W load on them (10A) and the batteries are fine. The internal batteries are disconnected on these units so I connected the charging cables to top them off over night. There are two circuits that run all of the electronics in our home. The two Eaton UPS units can take over each of them from the 3KW Tripp Lite Powerverter. There are a total of four 48V 35AH battery banks in case of a long duration power failure. The Tripp Lite Powerverter has the responsibility for a short term outage. Once it’s depleted I can bring up the Eaten units an charge the batteries with a tiny generator.
Nevada has two UPS units, the house UPS is 840WH of battery and the garage UPS has 200 WH of battery with a 2.5 hour limited run time to protect the batteries.
