Installation & First Impressions of the NHX-10 Hybrid Inverter

Ғылым және технология

In this video, we're looking the NHX-10 high-frequency hybrid inverter. Operating at 48 volts and delivering 10kVa of power, this inverter is a game-changer for off-grid and hybrid energy systems. With its IP65 rating, it's built to thrive in challenging environments, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions. Equipped with four built-in MPPTs, it maximizes energy harvesting from solar panels, making the most out of your renewable energy sources. Plus, with a maximum PV input power of 15 kilowatts, it's ideal for medium to large-scale solar installations.

    I seem to be saying that every day as well. All depends on what I'm testing at the moment. I am glad though that I have some test cables run outside. Makes things a little bit easier. Funny thing is, I was gonna go outside even though it was late, but it was storming out. Didn't wana be the lightning rod... :D

    Like the 4 mppts, 500v and the 14a rating. Many other brands of this 10K or so PV watt input have just 2 mppts and 18-20A ratings. Medium to large pv panels seem to have 11 to 12A max outputs, so you can put 10 panels in series to be under 450v, but you can't put 2 strings in parallel as you will exceed the 18-20A max input. At least this co recognizes the mppt amperage issue and gives you more mppts. May mean more PV cables coming into the inverter though, and make combiner box obsolete, but need more outside PV shutoff switches if inverter is inside.

    Adam I would love to see the system set up tied into the grid and see if it can be set up with the zero export to the grid. That way you can use this to supplement loads without exporting to the grid. As if you don’t have a net metering agreement.

    Identical to Amen Megarevo and Vestwoods , recommend using ferules into those clamps and strip an extra 3/8' beyond the ferules or it gets too snug the hole or not go in at all. The voltmeter on the inverter is usually wrong so put a votlmeter on the terminals to adjust your charge voltages. My inverter shows -1.2v to -1.9v depending on charge%, so I lowered charge rates by the same. Gen port might not work so use grid port and might have to change the charge rate every time ugh. The only thing you won't like is getting wire on the ground bar. There is a voltage leak test disable if off-grid or it cuts power for 30 secs once a day. If you keep the discharge below 2200w it remains silent. Glad they gave you the new display old one was clunky but more precise and more settings could be changed. Factory password either 00000 or 11111. If you ever get a no charge 300w or less, change from bat priority to self-discharge and back again or whatever order you have it set to, should reboot it. I have the 8k, 12kw pv input 3kw it can have the wattage 150% over it will clip it np. 3rd icon shows individual legs. Works fine with lead carbon and lead acid , solar online is still finishing a bms add on for non bms batteries because the volts and charge% is not accurate, % is 30% low. Since the replacement inverter in feb had to use the gen for 5.4kw and maybe eliminate it forever after another 3.3kw array is added. Inverter swap took 14 mins same unit.

    Let me check and I'll get back with you. I know when I look at the default values for the generator settings, input power is set to 8k like all the other areas. So I would assume it should at least be able to bring in 10kw on that input but I'll confirm.

    Until there is more information out there, I am going to avoid these High Frequency Inverters until it is proven to me that they are safe and electrically isolated from the A/C section should one of the MOSFETS gets a direct short to ground or some other failure, I work with engineers during my normal work and they all have explained how these HF units work and how un-safe they can be if not built properly, this includes the EG4 6000XP and others like it. P.S. great video, and I like the price of the unit as well. How goes the EG4 review?

    The manuals for AIOs often do mention that there is no isolation between PV and AC, or if not actually mentioned it's implied by stating PV conductors must not be earthed. The PV terminals must be considered hazardous any time there is AC applied to the device.
