Larry, because these MPPT CC's are bi-directional (for efficiencies' sake), they can convert a large current at the battery side to a smaller current at the PV side if not adjusted right. Normally this is just taken care of and reduced to a bare minimum by the controller watching the voltages

After the Magnum Inverter/charger samples incoming AC power, they have a slight delay before starting the charger. Then, they ramp up current slowly. Even so, how will any current from any other source pass through the breaker unless the Classic is presenting a load? I suppose something else co

This is probably not the breaker at fault. Could be, but just doesn't seem like the only thing I would suspect. Do you know if the generator might be turning on and charging the battery through the inverters at this time in the morning ? Since you were talking about the AGS it makes me won

You don't want to drive for hours and hours to do something that might not fix the problem. Without knowing exactly what is happening, I would bring a spare Classic and also a new breaker which I think I heard we were sending you If the Classic is plugged into the internet, there is the

Daniel, Very strange problem. While I agree that you should try replacing the 100A breaker, I doubt that it’s the problem. Why would a breaker trip at low amperage in the morning, but not trip at noon when the amperage is higher? At early morning turn-on, the voltage might be too high, but
