Just an FYI, it is specifically an "insulation resistance" error that the
inverter is throwing, and not an "arc fault" error. Fortunately it is not
an arc fault. Meggering is not a bad idea, although due to the fact that
the fault is intermittent, that might not show anything?

You might want to make sure that the SMA inverter has the latest firmware.
It's been a long time since we've routinely installed these, but at one
point arc faults were being falsely tripped and firmware updates from SMA
helped with the issue.
I think that using a megger etc to test the panels and wires is what I’d do before I yanked out all the Wires. They are not that expensive anymore and maybe possible to rent one?JayOn Dec 13, 2023, at 8:53 AM, Dave Tedeyan via RE-wrenches wrote:Hi All,I am curious to hear if anyone else has run
Could be moisture accumulation in the conduit over the years along with a minor
insulation damage.I am tracing a similar intermittent on an Aurora roof mount.
Incompatible MC connectors are my first pass at repair, however has also not
corrected the issue.Only fails after rain.IRT testing did
It could be the inverter. The TL-22 series had a lot of problems with
false arc fault errors.

Hi All,
I am curious to hear if anyone else has run into this:
This is the system I posted about a little while ago that had the
SolarWorld modules and all the module to module connectors were swollen and
melted. One of the inverters was giving an insulation resistance error, and
so after seeing
