Excessive noise while charging via new Multiplus-II 48/5000/70

Hello community,

I am running a 3xMultiplus II 48/5000/70 configuration, monophase, all 3 in parallel, all on latest version 508 but the issue was also in 506 etc. I am running dynamic ESS, but was manifesting in simple ESS as well

Symptoms are similar as in this post https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/139719/multiplus-ii-quattro-ii-noise-vs-original-multiplu.html?childToView=141060#comment-141060.

What I have notice it is happening mostly in the morning when solar power is in the area of 3-4 times the load and equal with my setting of pushing into the grid (2-3KW of power). Out of the blue (but some how in sync with sudden change in output or in solar power) even enough power in the battery to feed the grid and the load, the inverter start pulling from the grid and start charging the battery and the load with 2-3KW, and making that horrible noise. The status of invertor is flicking from bulk to passthrough and back and registering a message of overcharge. If you put the system in inverter mode is stabilize back. I've notice sometime, if changing grid setpoint might stop the noise and stabilize the system, but this is not working all the time.

I was wondering if someone else has the same issue?

PS: yes same cable length on input and output, but no change!!

What batteries do you have. Do they have DVCC control on the system? How full are they when this is happening?

Bateries are 3 Seplos on CAN, with Pylontech in between them. DVCC is active now, with current and charging tension limit with sharing all 3 parameters active.

SOC it does not matter I think, same symptom anywhere in between 30% (my bellow ESS limit to 70-80%)

Today, some more info: all went fine at sunrise up till the PV power was close to double the load. I had to keep it on inverter until PV reach 5 times the load. It struggle for a while (like 2-3 minutes) but went quite at the certain time

You cold login to your Seplos battery and lower down the max charge current for each battery, in the range of something like 70A.
Canbus will communicate this with your Multiplus DVCC settings. This would likely solve the issue. At least you can try.

It is already limited from 200 to 100, and on top DVCC is limiting the overall at 250 (for 3). Control now is in Victron, Seplos is doing only the protection part
