Hi Morton, you got the measurement priorities wrong! 1) Use the R2500 and the pool heater and set some special lighting to set the mood. 2) Invite a lovely lady to join you in the heated pool. 3) ..... 👍 🥳 🎉 Data center what data center? 😄
What does the UPS log say? It may have been an undervoltage, or an overvoltage. You can change the upper and lower limits the UPS will accept before it starts correcting. You can also turn down the sensitivity of the UPS. My APC UPS will take just about any power at all and provide clean power to the server.
Morten, I believe the Eaton UPSes we use at work have a sensitivity button that changes what the UPS tolerates. Does your UPS have a setting like this?
Grounding going into the UPS is not grounding the unit itself as power going out is usually isolated so you would need to find a grounding point on the unit itself or the power cable going INTO the Allpowers...
100W of solar-power. Nice. Yesterday we got a little more at the company i work for: 380kW solar-power from big panel-arrays at the roofs. And additional 100kW from our 5MWh battery-container with 1MW inverter. While this test-run the whole company took about 700kW power 😎
you should do more testing and perhaps read up and test other models to get a system that will work optimally - almost there, i think you want more watts coming in but the power is almost less of an issue than ventilation and humidity control - you may want redundant and slightly overlapping systems #failover
I commented in your las ups video about the allpowers giving an isolated output this is still your issue here you took a big risk connecting your oscilloscope like that to your mains as the ground or neutral or minus whatever you call it in Denmark on your oscilloscope is connected to directly to the earth pin on oscilloscope mains input so you could have shorted mains to earth through your oscilloscope and destroyed your scope or at least poped the breaker you only survived it because like I said previously your alpowers is isolated output and since one of your terminals was connected to ground through the scope your ups worked. try powering up ups from scratch without scope connected. " DON'T EVER CONNECT YOUR SCOPE TO ANY MAIN WITHOUT AN ISOLATED PROBE OR BATTERY POWERED SCOPE"
"reine Sinuswelle" is german for "pure sine wave".
Morten, how do you supply power to your home data center? Are both of your racks connected to a single breaker in your home’s breaker box, or are they connected to multiple breakers? If they’re connected to a single breaker, what is the amperage capacity of that breaker? If you were to turn on all of your servers, would this capacity be sufficient? Can you one day prepare a video on the topic of supplying power to a home data center?
thank you very much for this video
👍cool
I paused at 3:15, you made a huge mistake there, when you use an oscilloscope to measure line voltage you should never connect the oscilloscope ground lead to anything that is not ground or earth. If you connect the cable in reverse you would short circuit the main power and potentially damage your probe and oscilloscope
I should add that if the power station is only running on solar than it should be floating and shouldn't be an issue but in the last video you had it connected to both main and solar so it's very dangerous
Proof you can work in a data center all your life and still guess muhahaha
Maybe the UPS is too picky about the input power. Can you change the sensitivity in the UPS Software? On my Rack-UPS I can set how "clean" the incoming power has to be to be accepted. Just a suggestion, I hope it works!
the power station has a floating ground you need a neutral to Earth Bond on the output
How would one do that..
@@MyPlayHouse you could use an earthing plug on a regular house socket to connect the ups chassis (or sometimes they have a grounding screw at the back) with ground, this way your UPS and servers are still properly grounded to your house while power is coming from the power station
@@MyPlayHouse assuming all sockets have continuity with each other the most simple way to bond neutral and Earth is to use a male plug with a wire from the left pin which is neutral to the center pin which is Earth to create neutral to Earth Bond if you don't understand what exactly i say just search neutral to Earth Bond plug or Generator Neutral Bonding Plug and you going to find a solution btw after doing that be careful how measuring with the output with the oscilloscope I hope I helped
That's why it worked with osciloskop connected. Bet if he disconnects osciloskop it wont work anymore.
@@aljosamlinaric8705 yep
@ 15:43, Isn't this the UPS's periodic self-test process, which briefly switches to batteries to test their condition and availability before switching back to the mains?
It does that onces a week,, It did it the day after I did this video.
i caught the monitor on the first reset, and it appears that the sine wave, right prior to the ups cutting off, appears to be faster before the power cut out, maybe even double the freq, then after resetting the sine wave appears to return to the normal hz,
Hi @netsspam Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)
Hi @netsspam Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)
Is the wave form monitor youre using not considered a load by the allpower? That could be keeping it's outputs "live" when the ups complains and shuts off the input,then tries to accept it again? That would be my thought?
The oscilloscope only uses a few watts,, not enough to be a real load,, and I was powering it from the grid,, as I would not be able to see stuff if the R2500 was powering on and off the AC..
Does the UPS log give no indication as to the problem ,maybe the voltage output is unstable?
Interesting,, I did not check..!! I will have a look
Had a look,, No usable information :-/
UPS do not like that there is no ground i think. Many ev cars wont charge when there is no ground
Hi @ImbaCore Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-) Thank you for watching! :-)
its german "Reine sinuswelle" = "pure sinewave"

Can u make egpu for laptop m. 2 with cheap gpu riser
I believe it is possible,, but have never had the laptop or need for it :-)
I wonder if that 3.5” hard drive cage & backplane will fit in my M3? I like the idea of 3.5” drives, but if this cage won’t fit in my server I may try to get the parts for the rear drive option for 3.5” drives. 🧐😁
I do not believe that I have seen 3.5" for the M3,, so that is a long shout!!
Okay so another question! If I were to take out the stock raid controller to replace it for another to add a second backplane, why do we take the original raid card and put it in the pcie riser?
The bracket for doing just that, has normally been screwed in the server,, over the PSU's to be ready for just that.
Hey Morten. What Wind-generator do you have? I'm living in middle-west of Germany and here's often more wind than sun. So I'm thinking about a solar-kit with 2x 480W panels combined with 800W sine-inverter (about 370€) and an additional wind-generator, but only if it's not too expensive.
ohh this is old,, it a 3 phase 500W,, chinese made but I got it from Germany :-) I do not have enough wind for it :-/

I just finished installing front arms on an MA2. For some reason one arm was quite easy whereas the other must have taken me 100 attempts before everything lined up correctly and I was able to insert the screw. One thing that helped was a small vise to hold the axle. It's necessary to put a half turn on the black plastic arm, and the vise holds the axle steady while you do this. I also put a little copper grease where the bottom pin goes into the small hole. Also, the arm needs to be pointing towards the rear of the drone, rather than in it's normal open position. (paul)

This video fix went way longer than needed, it didn’t realise it is a comedy video until half way through …..“all the rest of this stuff just followed me home”. 😂😂😂
Well It is not really a comedy,, this fix has helped a lot of people with there similar batteries. But as I had never done this before, and I could not praktis as the battery would then be fixed. I had to film this my first try. I do try to make the videos entertaining and I am happy if I manage to leave you with a smile after watching. I did a new video on this issue again this year,, as it happened again : ua-cam.com/video/eApFurP54Ls/v-deo.html It's a minut shorter :-)
Remember that the output voltage of the boost converter might drop when a load is added. I would recommend messuring while charing just to make sure its right :D Great video btw
Good tip! I did,, but the booster does try to get to the voltages,,, I did afterwards have to adjust the current limiter,, that was to low.
