[RE-wrenches] Xantrex XW6048 HOT!

2024-06-13 Thread Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenches
I'm looking at an off-grid quad inverter setup for a client, not my installation. One of the stacked.inverters is extremely hot, sometimes it goes into F66 and takes down the adjacent inverters with it to F66 probably because of these Xanbus network is broken. I disabled charging and discharging o

Going out the door. If the bad inverter is the master. You will need to assign a new master. Since this is 1st generation XW you will need to use SCP and probably use the manual if you are not familiar. Rebuild the xanbus network. That is alot of loading and the usual warnings about heat kill

Hi Jason, Have you checked the black removeable air intake filter on the bottom of the inverter to make sure it’s not clogged up? Check fan operation with a piece of paper above the inverter – is it blowing air? That’s where I’d start. Kevin From: RE-wrenches On Behalf Of Jason Szumlanski vi

Disco 250A breaker on bad XW and remove its xanbus RJ45. Assume the bad one is not the master? Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't" [1]https://offgridsolar1.com/ [2] [1] e-mail offgridso...@sti.net text 209 813 0060 On 2024-06-13 8:01 am, Jason Szumlanski via RE-wrenc

Yes, I checked the air flow. It seems equal to the others. It's really strange because after turning off Inverting and Charging, the unit is idle and does not cool down. That's worrisome. Jason Szumlanski Principal Solar Designer | Florida Solar Design Group NABCEP Certified Solar Professional (PV

It has a Combox and I was able to check the system using the web interface on the local network. There were no faults at the time I was there, but there was an OverTemp warning. I have not personally observed it with the F66 error, so I don't know anything else, but it stands to reason that eventua

Yeah, my next step was going to be that. It is the third inverter in the Xanbus daisy chain, and not the master, so I assume when it faults due to overtemp and shuts down, the Xanbus network stops there. Because there is no Xanbus terminator in the #2 inverter, it can't communicate, and the #4 inve

Yes worrisome. The fault log will show possible causes. The troubleshooting guide will tell you too look for black chunks of mosfet transistors in the right bay of XW down low. Really rare, but in a hot environment 10 years is pretty amazing. All of the docs are on the Schneider site under XW
