[RE-wrenches] Buck-Boost transformer to mitigate high voltage drop?

[Howard Arey]

Answers to all:

 

No - I did not measure voltage at the house. Right now, only an assumption
of voltage drop based on my perception of what "typical" loads might be on
this 150-amp service. I wasn't expecting to see such small wires for such a
long run from transformer to house when I showed up there without a
voltmeter. He is a heavy user, using 6,000 kwh in some months

 

We're looking at a 20KW system (he has some other expansion requirements, he
has the roof space, and the need.) I roughly estimate that he'll use onsite
40-50 amps of the 82 amps at peak inverter power output.

 

Interesting to hear of one transformer response and hope to learn more on
that, too.
