The generator auto starts when the battery reaches 21% but does not charge the battery
asked
Why would my generator all of a sudden not charge my battery
@Hannes Swart
Does the inverter accept the incoming power from the generator and connect to it?
Sometimes only after i reboot and restart the inverters
Does the detect genset on ac need to be toggled on as its off at the moment.
The inverter was accepting the power from the generator till this weekend when it stopped, the conditions set still work and the generator comes on automatically, but no power is fed through the inverter.I have 3 x quattro 48/5000 set up for 3 phase one inverter for each of the 3 lines
When my genny stops charging (or powering anything) I first check the circuit breaker on the generator. It's only tripped once on my genny in 5 years now. But it had me scratching my head for a bit. -Bill
The circuit breaker is fine, i have to reboot the colour display and switch the inverters off and on for it to start charging..
There's some general stuff here.. https://www.victronenergy.com/live/multiplus_faq
That's if you have a Muliplus or Quattro. But you give no information to work with..
I have the Quattro and this is the error message received
VE.Bus Error 10: System time synchronisation problem occurred

Probably from mucking about with restarts. Unlikely anything to do with a genset.
