Step-by-Step Guide to Install a Hybrid Inverters

Step 1: Planning and Preparation

1. Assess Your Energy Needs:

Calculate your energy consumption and determine the size and capacity of the hybrid inverter required.

Ensure compatibility with your existing solar panels, battery storage system, and grid connection.

2. Choose a Suitable Location:

Select a location that is cool, dry, and well-ventilated, ideally indoors or in a sheltered area.

Ensure the inverter is close to the battery bank, solar panels, and the main electrical panel to minimize power loss.

3. Gather Tools and Equipment:

Tools: Drill, screwdriver, wrenches, wire strippers, pliers, and multimeter.

Materials: Hybrid inverter, mounting bracket, DC and AC disconnects, circuit breakers, cables, conduits, connectors, and safety gear (gloves, safety goggles).

4. Review the Manufacturer’s Manual:

Carefully read the inverter’s installation manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.

Step 2: Mount the Inverter

1. Turn Off All Power Sources:

Disconnect all power sources, including solar panels, batteries, and grid connection, to ensure safety during installation.

2. Mount the Inverter:

Secure the inverter on the wall using the provided mounting bracket and screws.

Make sure the inverter is mounted vertically and in a location where it can be easily accessed for maintenance.

Step 3: Electrical Connections

1. Connect the Battery Bank (DC Side):

Use appropriately rated cables to connect the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the corresponding DC input terminals on the inverter.

Ensure that the connections are tight and secure.

2. Connect the Solar Panels (DC Side):

Connect the positive and negative leads from the solar panels to the inverter’s solar input terminals.

Use a DC disconnect switch between the solar panels and the inverter for safety.

3. Connect the AC Load (AC Side):

Connect the inverter’s AC output to the main electrical panel or a dedicated sub-panel.

Install appropriate circuit breakers between the inverter and the AC load to protect the system.

4. Connect the Grid (AC Side):

If your system is grid-tied, connect the inverter’s grid input to the main electrical panel using a suitable circuit breaker.

Use an AC disconnect switch between the inverter and the grid connection for safety.

Step 4: Grounding

1. Ground the System:

Connect the inverter’s grounding terminal to the main grounding point of your electrical system.

Ensure that the solar panels, battery bank, and all other components are properly grounded to prevent electrical hazards.

Step 5: Configure the Inverter

1. Power On the Inverter:

Turn on the battery, solar, and grid inputs to the inverter in the correct sequence as per the manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Set Up the Inverter:

Use the inverter’s display or a connected device (like a laptop or smartphone) to configure the system settings.

Set up parameters such as battery type, charging settings, grid settings, and any backup modes.

Connect to the monitoring system if available.

Step 6: Testing and Commissioning

1. Test the System:

Verify that the inverter is functioning correctly by checking if it’s charging the battery from the solar panels and supplying power to the AC loads.

Test the backup mode by simulating a grid outage (if applicable).

Ensure that the inverter is properly feeding excess power back to the grid (for grid-tied systems).

2. Monitor the System:

Monitor the system’s performance over a few days to ensure everything is functioning as expected.

Adjust settings if necessary based on the inverter’s performance.

Step 7: Final Inspection and Documentation

1. Inspect the Installation:

Conduct a final inspection to ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated.

Check that the inverter is securely mounted and that there are no signs of damage or loose components.

2. Document the Installation:

Record the details of the installation, including the model and serial number of the inverter, a wiring diagram, and any configuration settings.

Save this documentation for future reference and maintenance.

3. Obtain Necessary Approvals:

If required, have the installation inspected by a certified electrician or local authority to ensure it complies with all safety and regulatory standards.

Safety Tips:

Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines and local electrical codes.

Use appropriate safety gear during installation.

If you’re not experienced with electrical work, consider hiring a professional installer.

By following these steps, you should be able to install a hybrid inverter safely and efficiently, ensuring a reliable and efficient energy system for your home or business.

Hey if people are thinking of 'stockpiling HRT' and you are doing it with Testosterone, be aware that is a controlled substance and doing this WILL GET YOU A FELONY CHARGE IF YOU ARE CAUGHT (and it would be very easy for this to happen through the way those posts reccomend).

Its your decision if you want to risk imprisonment (and then definitely losing hrt access), but be aware of the serious consequences- especially if you are recommending this to people!

If you do this with E, you get a slap on the wrist. If you do this with T its a felony. A felony charge deeply effects everything you do. Its not just hard to DYI T, its MANY TIMES LEGALLY RISKIER AND HARDER.

Obsession Spiral

Danny was flying high in the sky, heading towards Town Hall. He needed to see Vlad. As he flew, he thought about how he reconciled with him. He had called a temporary truce, and asked Vlad to bring his short term Plasmius Maximus. They both used it, preventing any potential argument from escalating into a ghost fight. Then they had a long hard talk, figuring out the miscommunications and working out most of the problems.

Part of it had been Vlad’s Obsession with Family clashing with his revenge for his belief that Jack is the one who killed him. Danny had managed to get it into his head that stealing someone to form a family would never work. Vlad would do better if he shifted his focus on to creating his own family elsewhere, possibly adopting like Bruce Wayne did.

Danny had also asked for a clear story on Vlad’s Death, despite the taboo. It had been hard but he had agreed Jack was the cause in the end. He had asked Vlad to find a different way to get back at Jack. His nature as a Protective Spirit would not allow Vlad to get his revenge through killing him, but he could look the other way for other things.

Breaking out of his thoughts he turned invisible and slipped into the building, floating into Vlad’s office. Vlad looked up as he appeared. “Daniel! I wasn’t expecting to see you, what with that whole battle with Undergrowth earlier.”

Danny nodded, “Normally I would be taking a nap after the fight, but something has been bothering me and I wanted your opinion on it.”

Vlad frowned. “This seems more serious than just your usual ghost fights. If I can help you I will.”

Danny hesitated but managed to push through his uncomfort, “I’ve been thinking. Ghosts and undead with cores have their Obsessions, which make it healthy for them to focus on those things long term. But Liminals, they only have some ecto in their bodies. Maddie and Jack have been contaminated with ecto a long time and they might as well be living ghosts with how Obsessed they are with hunting ghosts. I don’t know how to check and see, but I’ve been feeling like something is almost… wrong with them. Like they have fallen way too far into obsession and if we don’t break them out of it they will be unrecoverable.”

By the point Danny finished he was hugging himself, face covered in a worried frown as he stared at the floor. Vlad looked off to the side, considering. “I have not given things much thought, but it is possible you are right. Despite my feelings for Jack, he has been… much more one-minded than he used to be.”

Danny looked up at him. “Do you know what we could do? The only thing I can think of is getting them far away from anything ghost and preventing them from working on projects. Which probably means something like a mental health ward or prison…”

Vlad breathed out a sigh. “I will look into it. Why don’t you go ask Frostbite if he knows anything. We might have to involve outsiders and getting the portal in Amity shut down. I know you have been pondering on what you will do after high school. It might be best if you start working on your ability to portal so if we are forced to take that option you can get back to the Realms.”

Danny nodded and then said goodbye. He hoped that they didn’t have to do anything that drastic, but after his trips for Clockwork he generally had a good sense of how things would go. It would probably be hard, but safer for him in the end.

Happy 80th anniversary to the Railway Series!

Here's my entry for the #RWS80thCollab; an art collab I helped organise to celebrate the anniversary. Each artist was randomly assigned a RWS book to create an illustration for - mine was book 11, Percy the Small Engine.

I thought it would be fun to depict Duck in the BR black livery he canonically arrived in 😁

Thoughts on the Curseblades?

the Curseblades are interesting because they’re related to a concept that seems very unique to hornsent culture… tutelary deities:

“Curseblades appear to dance when they spin their shimmering circular blades. These ascetics, who failed to become tutelary deities, were a scourge for those who attempted to invade the hornsent homeland.” (Curseblade Meera)

“Attire of the tower's ascetics, embodying their commitment to an austere existence of strict self-control. In order to ascend from their mortal flesh into tutelary deities of the land, they heighten their spirituality through severe ascetic training.” (Ascetic’s Loincloth)

“Weapon of the masked Curseblades. Circular backhand blade with wave-like cutting edges, sharpened into points that incite blood loss. Long ago, this was employed by the ascetics who strove to become tutelary deities as a ritualistic object in their self-flagellating dances.” (Curseblade’s Cirque)

The Curseblades are essentially a religious sect who live as ascetics in order to ascend as tutelary deities, which are in fact the hornsent corpses holding the Revered Spirit Ash that you find all across the lands of the tower:

“Spirit ash of those who came before, infused with potent spirituality. Acquired from the corpses of hornsent and other objects that ritually decorate townships and villages across the realm of shadow. Consume these at sites of grace to bolster your Revered Spirit Ash Blessing. The Revered Spirit Ash Blessing bolsters both summoned spirits' and spectral steed's abilities to deal and negate damage but has no influence outside the realm of shadow. The withered corpses were called tutelary deities, and Revered Spirit Ash was said to quietly accumulate in the palms of their hands.” (Revered Spirit Ash)

The word “tutelary” means “serving as a protector, guardian, or patron,” so the purpose of these tutelary deities were probably something like spiritual guardians or guides for the townships and villages they’re placed in… we use the Revered Spirit Ash to improve our spirit summons and spirit steed, implying that collecting the ash makes us more hashtag blessed, so I think it’s a fair assumption that the purpose of tutelary deities was to guard and guide others spiritually, help deepen spiritual connection, etc.

The most interesting thing about tutelary deities though is that they were mortal beings who ascended their mortal flesh to become “deities!” The Curseblades were people with incredible abilities due to their severe ascetic training, but presumably started out as regular hornsent, and yet it seems like a sort of godhood was within their reach! A similar sort of thing is described with Divine Bird Warrior Ornis:

“Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell. Use to summon the spirit of Ornis the divine bird warrior. Spirit of the divine bird warrior from whom the horned warriors claim descent. Clad in golden armor, and granted wings and feathers by divine invocation. Ornis succeeded in taming the divine bird and made its wings his own as he soared through the sky. When he finally fell to earth, he lived on as the guardian deity of the temple quarter.”

Ornis, a mortal warrior, “tamed the divine bird” and lived on as a “guardian deity.” This is pretty unprecedented from what we’re familiar with in the base game: in the current order of the Lands Between, only ONE person — who must be an empyrean chosen by the Two Fingers — is able to ascend to godhood. Divinity is not something just any mortal can ascend to, even with all the spiritual training in the world! It doesn’t seem like the hornsent even had an equivalent to Marika, a “one true god.” To the hornsent, the Divine seems like it was something less centralized, with mortals regularly communing with and invoking divinity, and ascending as minor deities. This kind of makes sense with the concept of the Crucible as a “current” of spiraling energy, a primordial force from which life originated, something all-encompassing rather than centralized. This video by Zullie the Witch even implies that ALL hornsent were once called “empyreans,” and are referred to as such in the game files! I wonder if Enir Ilim’s Divine Gate is what allows the hornsent as a whole to access this divine power and invoke divinity, and no one person was supposed to seize that power for themselves?

This isn’t to say that the hornsent elite didn’t try to control who gets to access divinity, though… it seems like the spiritual elite strictly controlled what kinds of spirituality were “allowed.” Of course, in hornsent society, only those with horns are the ones considered touched by the divine to begin with. But even amongst those with horns, the Curseblades themselves were shunned and imprisoned:

“These ascetics, who failed to become tutelary deities, were a scourge for those who attempted to invade the hornsent homeland. Long ago, before the land was overshadowed by invasion, this scourge was shunned, and the curseblades were imprisoned.” (Curseblade Meera)

I’m not sure if they were imprisoned specifically because they as a group failed to become tutelary deities, or if the Curseblade cult as a whole was seen as a dangerous or distasteful way of ascending to tutelary deities. We do know of another cult that the elite imprisoned out of fear, though:

“A stone mask twisted into an expression of rapturous grief. Use while disrobed to transform into a lamenter. The change cannot be undone except by death. Using this mask while already transformed causes the head to swell in size. This transformation tallies with the state of a denizen of paradise, but the people of the tower denied and hid it from the world. In their foolishness, they viewed true bliss with deep fear.” (Lamenter’s Mask)

The Lamenter’s path to enlightenment being achieved through grief is kind of similar to the Curseblades’ ritualistic “self-flagellating dances,” pain being a way of accessing spirituality. There’s definitely a pattern of the hornsent elite suppressing forms of spirituality that don’t fit the status quo, so I think this might be a reason for the Curseblades’ imprisonment rather than them just being imprisoned for being cringe and failing to become deities

DP X DC WRITING PROMPT #22

✦

Bring on the Night

What if Danny's white hair and green eyes showed up under blacklight? No nightclubs for him... of course, knowing him, he'd definitely still go.

Imagine someone from the DC universe gaining a crush on the mysterious alt looking dude but he's impossible to find outside of nightlife parties.

To make it more interesting, what if the nightclub he frequents is actually owned by him? Even more interesting if the nightclub is used as a sort of no man's land where ghosts and humans knowingly/unknowingly peacefully mingle with each other? Some of the more ghostly individuals are also Danny's employees and humans just see them as enthusiastically trying to fit the theme of the club. What exactly is that theme? You decide.

I feel like Danny would just make a really good host and it would easily fit in with his obsession to protect. Like a side project/hussle, but for ghostly core health.

Also think of it as kinda like vacation time for his rogues from trying to throttle him. They get a nice, safe space to freely feed into their individual obsessions without wrecking anything/anyone.

List of roles are in the tags but can changed around however anyone pleases. Just thought this would be a fun idea for anyone to pick up and run with.

So William right? William and his perfectly manicured nails? William who taps said nails on his desk because he likes the noise and because he knows that it drives some people mad. William who makes a point of not tapping when Porter is around, until Porter gets a little to close to the line. William that will be tapping pointer to pinky and back when Alexis is in the room. William that has never tapped his fingers in the same room as Vincent until the last time they talked. William that never tapped his fingers when Sam was in the room, only tapping once whenever the wolf was brought up and his interest was peaked. William having a specific kind of handle made for his cane that allows him to tap his fingers and still have a good grip?

William that rarely stands up during a meeting. William who keeps his voice low enough, that most need to lean in to hear him properly. William that has a habit of looking behind the people he's talking to and finds it particularly amusing when the person he's talking to turns to look behind themselves as well. William who will never be seen feeding unless it's from a glass (he has humans that provide blood but he doesnt drink directly from them)

William who only shows his irritation around Alexis and Porter because he knows they're not going to say anything, and occasionally they have useful insight. William that has the most charming smile, and is known for using it to his advantage even more than he actually trances people. William that knows exactly what to say every time, regardless of the situation. William taking advantage of the fact that people find him alluring enough to converse with despite how intimidating a presence he has

William who's startlingly up to date with fashion trends but chooses to dress a little more classically with a modern twist (blouses, dress pants, long coats, boots, the works)

William that wears makeup to draw attention to his eyes

Not caught up on TRT, so not sure if this has already happened. But are you planning to add more Dom Jane at any point? 😊 Same for heavily dom Matt/devil.

I AM! They'll both continue to have their Dom moments in between moments where no one's particularly in charge. I see them both as switches so we all get to have some fun, no matter if you like Dom!Matt or Sub!Matt, and same with Jane. 😂

Our next scheduled smut chapter(s) is, in fact, a wild Dom!Matt versus brat mode Sub!Jane. He's absolutely unhinged and feral and she's feeling not particularly agreeable as a sub and therefore she may or may not use the phrase, "Why don't you come over here and fucking make me."

Which goes exactly the way you'd expect, that woman's gonna need to be carried home in a gd bucket.
