Victron blue smart charger 12/30A, is the humming normal?

Hi

Just installed a Victron Blue Smart 12/30A and was concerned about the humming noises coming from it. Never had a charger before that makes such noises and was mildly concerned considering Victron is supposed to be a premium brand? Anyone with similar experiences? Perhaps its normal?

I have two of them and they work absolutely silent. At most, a very quiet noise from the fan. That humming noise is not normal.

You may want to check that nothing is blocking the fan and if it doesn't help, get it replaced by your dealer.
