No power on load

Featured Replies

My 8kw Sunsynk inverter is installed and operated perfectly for the last week since it's on a test run. Yesterday we had loadshedding from Eskom and the inverter worked. The moment the power came on the inverter made a click sound and stopped giving power to the load (UPS).  In the photo the AC is off as i am running on By-pass. There is power from mppt and battery. The load shows 548 volts. Did something blow up?  I tried resetting but it gives alarm with code ID 2205264432. No fault codes though. Please help.

My Axpert had a similar problem (though not the voltage thats a weird one...)

The problem there was a borked relay. Though if it was installed a week ago it should still be under warranty shouldn't it?

 

On mine the relay didn't engaged, when I measured the output it would read 220V and thr inverter reported no problem but the second a load was present it dropped to zero.

So it turned out I was getting capacitive coupling throught the relay and thays why ot still measured an output voltage.

 

It could be anything that causes a relay to fail. Overvoltage. Some software bug that engages it over and over.

They are mechanical parts and have a finite lifetime

But surely if it was constantly energised/de-energised you would have heard it. It's not like the relay only has a few operations before failure even if mechanical?

I have now spoken to probably everybody in Sunsynk and no one can give me some sort of answer. And do not think for one moment it is easy to book a warrantee claim for something that was not finally installed and subsequently not registered for its warrantee. Unfortunately for me I am still waiting for wifi. So, they cannot look up on the logger. They do not answer phones. Do not call you back. But it seems after I took the matter up with their chief operations manager that something is happening.

Thats true yeah.
