The problem is when Equalize is enabled, the system goes through Bulk and
Absorption just fine. However, when it switches to Equalize it doesn't
actually equalize. What I observed was the voltage actually decreased to
0.5 V below the Absorption Voltage setting.

I have a client whose Trace DR 1524 inverter (yes, it's an old system) fan

I haven't been to the site (3 hour drive, 1 hour boat ride) but I am
guessing that it's a failure of a temperature sensor.
Does anyone have experience with something like this?

I've done 3phase with 6 Schneider Conext XW. It worked well but when you
convert to 3-phase you lose surge capacity because you are turning the
inverters into 120V inverters from 240.

All the micro inverters were fried and so was the generator. It caused a
