I need to install some batteries that work as ups. As input, we have the AC grid and as load, we power some communication antennas. The battery pack is 12V. My question is if it is possible to use a charger Blue Smart IP67 and a Phoenix Inverter for this case which is simple or it is better to use a MULTIPLUS12/500/20.
The Phoenix does not accept AC in so cannot be used as a ups.
That being said I do have a phoenix with an ip67 charger(occasionally used when solar does not keep up) and a small mppt on it.
But for ease of setup I would use a Multiplus that way no thinking is involved in the whole charging process.
@Alexandra : Hi Alexandra, is this possible that you show me your diagram using the phoenix inverter with a charger. I'm thinking of installing a similar system. Thanks
Please excuse the hand drawn. But this is the basic idea. The real life representation is much prettier.
25mm² battery cable. 16mm² from mppt. 6mm² solar cable.
Side 1. A later edition was the 12v panel from amazon.
Mppt side with dc breakers and mc4 connection from panels.
Ther e is blutooth dongle is there it was added to the bmv 700 (i could not get the 712 when purchasing) and the phoenix for a time because it was fun.
