Do any of you know what detection mode under advanced settings does?

I have set mine to full wave detection as i assume it detects the surge when loadshedding ends and cuts those out as it is running on batteries at the time

I see you can get meters for your db board that cut off the power for a certain time and then restore the power

Do any of you have surge plugs on your refrigerators?

I am thinking of putting them on my 5 fridges as i have a ups on my computer and modems and every time loadshedding ends the ups kicks in for a few milliseconds so there was definitely a surge or voltage drop coming thru when i had the detection set to support voltage ride thru

Still busy checking if the full wave detection does anything

Loadshedding just kicked in and the ups still kicked in for a few milliseconds so i guess the full wave detection doesnt do what thought it did

I see you can get surge arrestors 20Kva and 40Kva

I wonder if one of those would maybe help for the surges?

Another thing that used to bother me is under diagnosis message i have a posting of:

SOC delta over range

Please check the settings for battery capacity and charge voltage

But this has been like this for 4 years and one of my neighbours who has the same system with a us3000 battery has the same message, so i have just ignored it as  i just picked the standard pylontech 2.4Plus  x4+ setting

Also i have changed my safety settings to 50Hz Default as the South Africa setting kept restarting my inverter ,i think bacause the voltage is so high here 240v-250v

Full wave detection will do overvoltage and undervoltage protection, half wave is faster, but disables one of the two, I can't remember if under or over voltage. Voltage ride through should be avoided in your case.

Only have one proper surge arrester at the grid input on your DB. Too many of those plugs will cause earth leakage problems.

50Hz default will disable some safety features and make your inverter non-compliant to NRS097.

Don't worry about that.

Sorry for replying on old post

But what about ( no detection ) option

Will it be much faster to response to grid outages and act as ups ?
