Hi

I think I understand what will happen when I turn the "Auto restart when overload occurs" setting on--The inverter will restart.

However, I am not sure what will happen if I turn it off and an overload occurs.

does anyone know?

Inverter is turned off and overloads?  How would that happen?  You mean if bypass is enabled and it is still physically powered (ie. the relay is switched to allow power from utility through?)

Keep in mind when they say overload they mean the inverter (ie. 10kVA; so ~ 45 amps @ 230v).  If you are overloading the contacts/relay on the inverter that is far beyond what the inverter can supply and it'll simply melt the relay contacts together.

Hi Gnome

Setting #6 says "Auto restart when overload occurs" and allows me to enable or disable it.  I was simply wondering what happens if the setting is disabled and I would overload the inverter (place to much load on it).

Hey, ok I think I misunderstood :)

I have an RCT max, even though 06 is set to disable, the inverter will keep on restarting when tripping on low light conditions when not connected to the grid. You need to isolate the pv's to stop this from happening.

its currently sitting with Rectron to see if they can sort it out, also sitting with F8 trips in the middle of the night.

Would be interesting to know if the o/l protection is only relavant to the max output of the inverter or also input dependant.
