Title: Wiring 3 Classic 200's together?
Post by: Shady Acres on October 11, 2024, 11:38:47 AM
Please share with us your wisdom :D We have 3 arrays, 3 midnite combiner boxes going into 3 midnite classic 200's.  We're going into a Magnum MPSL 175-30D,  MPX extension box, and 2 Magnum MS4448PAE inverters. On the wiring diagram on the MidNite website,  it shows how to wire 2 Classics to the PAE, but not 3. On the Follow Me video it has 3 Classics wired together going into a box to the right of the Classics, so, I see that it can be done.  I'm attaching my design and yes, with Midnite's DIY and calls, I am 66 year old woman,  designed it.  ;)

My question is how do I wire the 3 charge controllers together for the batteries and the inverters?

The pv goes to the three charge controllers. All the charge controllers go to charge your battery. The inverter is connected to the battery .
So you would have all three charge controllers in Follow Me and each controller will charge the battery.
I am not sure exactly what you need to know. A pictorial drawing of all the devices in your system with where they are wired to would help .
