Hi Tump, The battery charge rate is set to limit the overall charge of the batteries to less than .02C (20% overall AH’s) and while the AC1 is set to 60 amps Max input the AC2 is set to 12 Amps max per inverter. I’m not so much concerned with the 18 kw generator disconnecting, that can be

Its a pretty small battery bank what do you have the charge rate set to 10%?100%? how large is your generator? I will usually start with a lower set point, w 3 inverters charging at even 15% thats quite a bit of charging for that BB. Make sure your AC input priority is set for AC2 and the Max

On Schneider gear if you program the bat capacity to zero, the unit will run the full absorb time. If you had a 1000 AH bank programmed, at 2% of the 1000 ah or 20 amps into the battery the unit will go to float. I do not see this as your problem though! --Dave > Hello Kevin, > > I have actual

Hello Dave, No it is not three phase, but yes Bulk and Absorb are the same set points. Generator is staying connected and is qualified mostly, but will disconnect briefly under load surges…. Weird huh? Thanks Jason > On May 3, 2017, at 4:20 PM, Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar >

Hello Kevin, I have actual battery capacity of 670 ah’s programmed in. Do you have any theories on why 0 ah’s was helpful?? Swapping AC1 and AC2 is a really good idea. The only problem is since I put in a micro SD card to the Combox, to do extended logging, I have not been able to

This is a good one. What battery capacity have you programmed into the XW system? We have had a few issues, though not this one specifically, but similar head-scratchers that were resolved by setting the battery capacity to 0 Ah. Have you tried swapping AC1 and AC2 and does the problem follow

As with anything these days I would make damn sure that the firmware OF ALL components in the system have been updated w/ the latest firmware prior to changing anything. I personally am not a big fan of the com box and I have the “Con fig” tool and I find after the learning curve its the best

Jason, I had a similar problem with an XW 6048 but the overcharge happened on AC1 input. One xantrex tech told me the battery bank was too small. I had 8 L16's 6 v 360 ah. I reset to factory defaults and asked them many times why the voltage raced up to 64v when set at correct absorption

Hmm. This does not sound good! Three phase power correct? You could try connecting a different inverter to the generator. Are you sure the generator is staying connected and outputting qualifying AC? There are set-points for bulk and absorb and they are the same right? Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar
