Hi All, Although using a different version of the VFXR (3024E) I have also had issues with a factory supplied FP2 system which is now resolved. Random shutdowns of the slave inverter which would indicate "firmware versions different" and eventually lock up and revert to Boot Load

Schneider Electric Solar released the brochure in the attachment below. They do not have a web page yet as they are getting the approvals. It should not be long. One will be able to go to the site and get firmware for the battery BMS. I have been testing it since last year with the LG Chem RESU-10

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

I had all kinds of trouble with the one and only VFXR system I did last summer. Every morning when the system would try to sell back, one inverter would drop, which meant half the critical loads all got dropped too. Considering the idea behind all the money for GTB is to keep those loads up n

Battery Wrenches, We designed a mobile power system with 6 Outback VFXR3648 inverters stacked for 240 split phase. The battery system is a 20kWh lithium ion. So far, 2 FET boards have failed and the customer called today with another failure. Outback said they had an early problem with these. I

We had a similar issue last year on two new systems with FXR3048A inverters. An Outback tech proposed the solution below and it mysteriously worked. Not sure if this applies to older FX inverters or only the newer FXRA with latest firmware. •Make sure master is in HUB port 1 and sub-p
