About 10 minutes. As long as it takes to get to new SOC

Will try and see how it goes. Otherwise I’ll be calling the installer. There’s only so much I’m willing to experiment 😁

The CT1 cable in pin 4 was loose. Could that have an impact?

I opened the DB and can’t tell which direction the CT coils are going and don’t feel comfortable enough to start fiddling around. opening the inverter though is easy enough. Should I be looking at changing the wires for CT1 or CT2?

I'm a complete noob here, so will take advice from the experts

Thanks. This helps. I’ll have a look when home this evening

@Scorp007 if I switch off mains while the drain is happening, it stops and functions normally. @PowerUser firmware is ver2005-1128-1807 excuse my ignorance, but which ones are the CT coils? 🙈

To test the theory, I changed the work mode from 8pm to 8:45pm and as expected, the spike came at 8:45pm. Here’s the “real-time” from solarman during and after. I’ve also posted the stats from the inverter at the time, I’m not sure if it helps?

Which one is that? This is grid and load screens. Not sure if this is right?

Does this help? This was taken two weeks ago and I’ve subsequently changed energy pattern to battery first

But that's the confusing bit, there is absolutely nothing that should be pulling that load. If I were to change the work mode setting from 20h00 to 21h00, the same pattern would then be observed at 21h00, or any other time for that matter. The minute that a new work mode kicks in to a lower percentage, irrespective of time of day, there's a spike and that's why I'm concerned there's something wrong with the batteries, or my settings.

Thanks for all the replies, and excuse me if I'm missing the point, but to clarify, there's absolutely nothing that should be pulling that load at those times. The geyser is on a timer and doesn't run at 8pm. Are you saying because the "power" is set to 12,000w, it's going to immediately drain to get to the new percentage?

The high loads throughout the day is one issue, but that's manageable (washing machines, geysers, etc.) and fiddling around with best times to run these. The high loads that are spiking as work mode times change is concerning. The SOC overlay shows that there's a dramatic drop to the battery setting for that work mode time, and then stabilisation at much lower consumption. I can only imagine then that the issue is possibly the Hubble bug?

Damn. Is there a fix or need to be replaced?
