It's been a long time, but I'm quite certain it was landed on the Gen (AC2) input bus. It worked fine for many months, so I can't imagine this is the issue, but it's worth double checking. This was a prewired dual Radian system from Wholesale Solar (or whatever they're called now). Jason On

Sounds like the generator is connected to AC Out terminals (AC coupling). This will ‘work’ to charge batteries. It will function but the Radian has no way to regulate battery voltage. One would typically install an AUX controlled AC relay on a grid tie inverter set up for AC coupling. In your

I would check at what voltage the Generator AC input set points are at. If the generator AC disconnect voltage is set to low say 100V then the inverters stay connected to that voltage then unlatch. Perhaps you are seeing a voltage spike at that time. Meters will show spikes not averages. > On

Whoa! I just got access to his OpticsRE. It says battery voltage reached as high as 66V!!! (48V Nominal). I don't know if that's true yet or a acrtually voltage metering issue. But it appears that when the generator stops the invert mode kicks in and immediately shuts down due to high battery

I have a client (DIY) who has dual 8048's and he is starting the generator using both high load and low voltage settings with the AGS. It worked flawlessly for 9 months. Then for a couple of months when the generator shut down the lights would flicker. Eventually it started shutting down his loads

Trust me when I tell you that all of the line side conductors and taps are likely fine. It is unequivocally the switch contacts that are the issue. That said, I usually replace the conductors when there is any indication of overheating near the terminals. I have seen discolored copper, but it

It is always the left fuse! Thanks all for the pointers. I'll double check the monitoring, but am thinking that I will be replacing the switch with a SQD, and replacing the taps and AC wires as well while I'm at it. Cheers, Dave On Mon, Nov 1, 2021, 9:13 PM Jerry Shafer wrote: > Bad switch > >
