Re: [RE-wrenches] Radian Question

[Jay via RE-wrenches]

Drake I forgot to ask, but I’m thinking this is a new problem on an older system that was working normally?

It stays in the state where it is sampling the grid, AC in light blinking. Is the default high voltage for the nominal 240 V 280? (IE 140 V X 2). Thanks for your help.

If you're deep cycling it usually will with default settings    The default high voltage window for ac input is default at 140v.    Hope this helps   Jay         On Oct 29, 2023, at 11:14 AM, Drake Chamberlin via RE-wrenches <re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: My Radian GS 8048 intermittently will connect to the grid to charge batteries. The grid voltage seems to run high around here. Yesterday, it wouldn't connect. The grid voltage was at 251 V. Later it did connect. At that point the grid was at 246 V.   I am suspecting that the Radian has a voltage acceptance limit of 250 V. Is that true? Is it possible to open up the window?   If that isn't it, what could be the problem?   Thank you,   Drake   Drake Chamberlin Athens Electric LLC Ohio Electrical Contractor's License 44810 NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional   --   _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Redwood Alliance Pay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.org List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Change listserver email address & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org There are two list archives for searching.
