HI
My system is grid tied.
However, when the power fails, the inverter immediately turns itself off
After the grid is restored, it can take up to 4 minutes before the inverter starts again, during which time I have no power.
This is incredibly infuriating, but I am certain it is just a setting
other than that it works well
Any suggestions as to where to start.
Many thanks

I have the pylontech batteries. 4 x 2.4 kwh (9.6kwh total) using 50mm cable(according to invoice) battery connections are all specific, supplied with the batteries. all fuses tight and intact.
as i said, its only when the power goes off. All other times it runs fine. Pulls upto 4000w from batteries alone at night
Thanks for the help
Monitor for grid failure is enabled
Dont see anything else that I could change
Also some screenshots of the VE.config settings.
No ESS?
Grid code needs to be set .....

yes ESS
set to optimised for battery life
control is inverter, not external
cant see where I could set a grid code
thanks for helping
It would have to have been set to put ess on as it is a requirement.
See the grid tab.

Are the batteries wired through any sort of current surge protection device? If the normal demand is applied gradually, but an outage slams in all at once, it could trip a surge protection device if installed. If not as a separate device, something within the BMS for the batteries? If I try to power up my Multiplus Compact from a single Battle Born 100Ah battery, the battery will immediately disconnect until the capacitors in the Multiplus are more charged.
