Agree the push in connectors leave alot to be desired, however l have had
no issue testing voltage at the connector in SMA. The industry is making
installation of solar and for that matter most construction to easy and

Did you skip over and plug in to port 3 with the slave, swap the cord,

It sounds like a out of the box board failure, even if the slave is in
standby it is connected to the hub and you see it, if you swapped the
cable, port location, its time to talk to OB tech and get a board sent out,

I did not recall that they include breakers so GFI and ARC would not be

Yup we are talking to them, it is only a load center, no meter socket but
it can be programmed to disconnect loads for peak shaving

I have an opportunity to inspect one in California and there was alot wear
and tear considering time in use. I believe it was due to water level
fluctuations and movement.

Traditionally we oy use black + and white - for a grounded PC system enen
with RSD, Systems that are not grounded are red + and black - which can be
confusing. White is associated with neutral and connected to earth, black
hot and red hot and we always use either USE-ll or PV wire,

You could wait but you will not know what you get untill it arrives, I
would take what you got, they need a good charge anyway and after you may
find it difficult to pick out the oldest one just from voltage.

Solaredge does not like to surge or ramp up quickly, in conversations with
SE the fix might be a variable frequency controller, I do not know how the
controller you have will work but historically that the cure.

Looking g at the bigger breaker tripping at the same time is very likely do
to response time of the breaker nothing more. As l suggested in a previous
message. Use a non bridged breaker to see if it is one or both legs that
trip. Also an eguage will help to see what if anything leads up to

Can you install a data logger, say an eguage so you can see spikes or a
frequency shift, surge, most anything.
Install two non connected breakers to isolate the line, just for testing
purposes and see if it's only one that pops.

Any good Lithium ion phosphate tech battery has a BMU that protects the
battery from over charge and over temp, different brands may have different
ways and values, In most cases the inverter battery temp sensor is not used
on a LFP batteries and the BMU will control both battery int

New or older system, first l would check all your connections both AC and
DC as it may be a bad or loose connection, has anything changed? I would
next continue with your direction by shutting down loads while you can here
the noise. What type of lighting do you have, I have ran Outbacks f
damage, that was 20 years ago by now it should be safer not more dangerous.
