Inverter RS Smart Solar 48/6000/100 error #42

I have a system installed for over a year and works fine all the time except for when I encouter an event that the batteries are going low and the inverter shuts down. When this happens it is was nightmare to have the system restart and now I couldn't restart the inverter at all. The system comes up with error #42 Inverter shut down (PV isolation).I get this error continuously even when the inverter is disconnected from the PVs and disconnected from any 220V line (L, N and E) are are disconnected. All voltages and grounding resistances that I measure seem to make sense.
Although I can not get the inverter to work, the batteries get charged so the solar control and chargers do work normal.

Firmware version is v1.10

Just want to add that by now batteries are fully charged but no AC yet. The inverter is still with this grounding error #42 :-(

I see that I am writing here to myself.

Anyway, the system (its inverter) came back to life, on its own after 3 days of giving a grounding error #42. Although I am happy all seems to work fine now, I am dissapointed because 1: No response from any Victron support person received all this time and 2: I know this problem will occur again next time that the battery will drain again.

Good to hear things are moving along, for support, you really need to chat to your installer/dealer, the community isn't a support channel nor is it a conduit to victron staff.

It is just a self-help tool, where fellow users and installers share experiences and try point people in a direction so they can solve their own problems.

The internet works well for some things and for others not.
