Look at the batteries, use a meter right at the bolts going in to the inverter, sounds like low voltage cut out. On Sun, Oct 17, 2021, 9:07 PM frenergy wrote: > Hey Folks, > > I haven't seen this one until yesterday. Customer with a > 20 year old Trace SW4024 called. I've been ser

Hi Bill, Sounds like an intermittent field effect transistor in the power bridge. I use the Schneider XW guy up in Oregon but I do not know if he works on the old Trace gear. If you strike out, drop me an email and I will find it as I never need him. They do not last forever and there are a ton

Allan, I would not hesitate to use either the Kohler 12RES or the 14RES. I have many of the 14RES units out in the field and to this date they have been the most consistently reliable generators out of the various brands I’ve used over the years (Generac, Cummins-Onan and others). Several custom

Chris and Jerry,             Sorry, I forgot to mention I did exactly that, had the Fluke clipped to the + and (-) of the pack and watched it as load was applied.  Yes, voltage fell but never got below ~24.4V when the inverter output stopped.  Checked tightness of all battery connections, term

Load test it! It may be the last time. It also might be bad contacts on the transfer switch. A good tech can switch AC1 and AC2 or may have the relay. Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" http://members.sti.net/offgridsolar/ [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net [2] text 209 813

I've got another off-gridder that is telling me the propane frig they want to get pulls 350 watts.  Is this correct?...  Never heard of a glow bar for a frig. Bill Feather River Solar Electric Bill Battagin, Owner 4291 Nelson St. Taylorsville, CA 95983 530.284.7849 CA Lic 874049 solar powered

Bill; That sure sounds like a 3-way RV fridge to me -- propane, 120VAC or 12VDC, lever selectable, doesn't use any electricity when run on propane except sometimes a light and temperature display/control. The small 3-ways I've dealt with tended to draw ~140W, but I guess it wouldn't surprise me if
