Auto Voltage Protection

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice. Recently the auto voltage protection device that is located between my mains and inverter went into protection mode.

At this point, it stays in protection mode, and I'm assuming its done its job and now requires replacement. What would a replacement device cost? What is the recommended type, vendor, specifications that would be adequate. The current one is 100amps.

Could there be a recommendation on this as well as a recommended installer. Your assistance is appreciated, as I don't want to go down the road of doing this 2/3 times just to save a few bucks. I believe that it is an important component that requires the correct equipment and skills.

Thank you

Marlon

Is your unit fitted with a volt and amps display and with/without adjustable settings?

Hi, its a solid unit and with no ability to change settings.

However I do have Solar Assistant and can see the grid voltage and frequency...... I'm not seeing any thing more than normal.

Are you referring to the SPD (Surge Protection Device), which has now fired, and gone "black" or "red"?

This needs to be replaced, and depending where you are, a local installer or electrician can assist.

If you are referring to an under and over voltage protection device, these normally have displays, and can be adjusted.

Either way your location will determine which installer can assist. 👍

Welcome to the forum, and hope you come right.  :)
