Nik, I haven't run into this myself, but...
I think what you have is not really split phase, but two phases, out of the three available, from the three phase system in the main building. If that is the case, those legs/phases are 120 electrical degrees apart, rather than the 180 degrees you would have in a split phase system, which is what the the slave inverter is likely looking for. You might want to check with the building superintendent to be sure of the service setup. Then contact the inverter manu. tech guys to see what they suggest. Can you connect the inverters in parallel for 120 Volts instead? Are you using a charge controller or grid tie inverter + battery inverter? Happy New Year to all as well!

The service coming in to the condo is 120/208 split-phase fed from 3-phase 208 in main building. The master inverter pickups up L1 but the slave inverter will not sync. What am I missing? Thanks and Happy New Year to all! --- end of quote --- _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
