Aaron, there may or may not be an explanation for WHY this happened. We
really love it when there is one though.
But being electronics and especially power electronics, it can go up
without rhyme or reason even though lots have
gone into catching failures before shipping units. Four to eig
Yes, the 9V is because of the auxiliary power supply that powers
everything inside. Not just the Classic of course. Lots of voltages and
various
power levels required to run these things.
And charcoal inside a Classic refurb ! Hmmm... You can be sure...
There WILL be spankings !

I dont recall the specific rule off the top of my head, but I'm sure Canadian
Electrical Code says that panelboards are specifically not allowed to be
installed in closets.

Hello Wrenches,
A couple years back we installed a Shurflo 9325-043-101 water pump.
It runs array direct. After installation, it worked fine. Since
then, it has not been used. The client tried to operate it
recently,and it didn't work. A red light is showing in the controller.
How well do
Dan from Exeltech gave a really good explanation of how an inverter can
actually start using power ( not loads) at a voltage well below the LBCO.
It could also be a bad battery.

Hi Adam,
Check out “NEC 240.24(D) Not in Vicinity of Easily Ignitible Material.
Overcurrent devices shall not be located in the vicinity of easily
ignitable material, such as in clothes closets.”

Hi Aaron,
A customer of mine had a very similar situation happen couple years ago, except
with the added fun of frozen batteries, split open and a resulting mess.
(system was installed by others without a proper battery box / spill
containment).
This fault was traced back to a failed MX60 cont
Hi Drake,
We have a lot of these pumps in the field, operating without issue for many
years, though they are generally operating on some sort of regular basis. But
lots of customers with seasonal situations that may have the pump idle for 10
months a year.
I would suggest applying 12/24VDC bat
Hi All,
We have a local inspector who is asking us to use metal battery boxes
instead of plastic.
Ideally something that is UL-listed if that even exists, but we were able
to push back on that.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a metal battery box that will hold
8 or 16 L16 FLA batteries?
Thank you everyone for your input. I am quite sure this controller was just
doing what it was supposed to do. The inverter disconnected from low
voltage and the solar modules were covered with snow for months. The
classic was trying to reconnect all this time and I believe acted as a load

Hi Dave,
We’re used Midnite’s battery enclosures with good success:

You can reach out to Franklin at Silent Indoor generator in Riviera beach Fl.
Makes a simple but great rolling metal battery box with room for inverters,
charge controllers and mates.

Hi Drake,
I'll second Kevin's suggestion that it may be the waterproofing gland. I
see this as a very weak part of this pumps design and won't ever use that
pump again because of it. The aquatec SWP-4000 is a very similar pump.
Pump manufacturers should take responsibility for the water-proofing

Is this an electrical inspector? And is the inspector citing a specific code

Unless he is enforcing a code rule I don't believe he has any authority to
specify the battery box material.
Unless he backs up his request with a specific rule then you could respectfully

My experience is similar but slightly different. I have worked with the
