March 11, 20224 yr Hi everyone, I have a site where I installed a Sunsynk 8kW unit but the conlog prepaid meter keeps tripping when using the none essential output. The CT coil is in the correct place and the inverter is reading it correctly. I have set the grid trickle feed to 50Watts and tried all the way to 1000Watts but the meter keeps tripping. I am on the Sunsynk SA whatsapp group but no real help there except everyone saying the meter might be too sensitive. I have now split the DB and using only the essential load output. Any advice with this Conlog meter please?
March 11, 20224 yr I'd report it to the municipality, ask them to swop the meter out for an inverter friendly one (not a Conlog).
March 11, 20224 yr Author To ask the Witbank municipality, would be like talking to a tree... except the tree won't have an attitude.. LOL. This department is literally on a second story, of which the balcony rails fell off years ago, with one person handling the entire city's meter applications and queries. They won't even know what an inverter is... 🤣
March 11, 20224 yr Is it possible to put everything on the essential loads? Or are the non-essentials too big?

March 11, 20224 yr While you wait for them to install a working meter you could always connect the grid to your aux port and setup your inverter to charge from the "generator" when the battery gets low. That way the grid will be your generator to keep the battery above 20%
