Rosie Testing in Texas!

Well Yesterday I aded a 40 foot lead with a 240V outlet to Rosie's E-panel.  I used it to run my welder out in the yard.  I had no issues and Rosie handled it with ease.  I was pulling just under 3000 watts just from the welder.  All other loads were on normally.   Each weld burned between five and 10 seconds.   I did add an extra light or two and a fan to the mix. Still no issues.

Also, I have a neighbor with an EV, I have asked if they want to come over and charge for a while to hold Rosie around 6500 watts charging.  The rest will be my normal loads.  More to follow.

Finally, as it warms up here in Texas, It will be interesting to see if I get the fans going.

I, too, was wondering if the fans worked. It required my microwave to run for about ten minutes before the Rosie's fans kicked into slow speed. I wonder if how the fans will react to the summer temps since the inverter is living in the garage. While not Texas, Ohio in the summer can get quite toasty.

Eventually.  Slight changes to hardware and software would do it.

Normally, people don't run these things at full power very often.

Also, we have to finish all the other features first.  Then we can think about more power.

BTW, Speaking of features, you can now stack Rosies !

All good, but here at the cabin WHEN I finally get an EV, I will charge it from Rosie.  Now I just need that neighbor to stop by for some free testing!
