Hi All,
Just to wrap this one up I can report that the problem was in the control board

hi Everyone, and thanks for the support.
I took it apart and it is producing good sine wave up to the AC board but there
is a black relay that is failing to close and it turns out that there is a
light on the control board showing it is not even trying to close this relay,
so that is why we

I have an Outback VFX that I used for my own home from 2006-2018. It’s a 50Hz
240V unit, but similar otherwise to any other 48V VFX. It was working well
when disconnected. I needed to replace the inverter system for other
