I have a multiplus 48/3000 that has worked ok for the past 18 months. However in the past few weeks it keeps shutting down due to overload but no overload/short has occurred.
Upon resetting the inverter makes a strange noise and throws another overload fault, even with no load. It finally resets and works ok for a few days before occurring again.
Hello
I just plugged in my new Multiplus 48V/5000VA/70-100, (battery SOC=86) and after about 3-4 hours of flawless operation, the inverter started to hum loudly and then shut down after a few minutes. It does not matter whether the inverter load is 30W or 700W or 0W.
The warning is: "Inverter overload" (red LED overload remains on until reset)
what could be the problem?
Hi @johnp
Sorry to hear about this, overload issues can be hard to find / fix. if you are sure upon restarting with no AC output wiring connected to the inverter, so it's not an external wiring or load issue, then it's best to contact your distributor for repair of the unit.
can someone from victron answer this please?
Have you physically disconnected the ac output wires to verify the fault is in the inverter?
everything downstream of the inverter has been checked - appliances/wiring etc
Hello, you are notre thé only one concernés. We have exactly thé dame issue with pour multiplus 3000\70. Except that now, it s stucked on overload. But before it was like yours : somentimes everithing normal, and 5 minits or 2 days after, overload. We shut down AC IN and AC OUT, un ordre to sée if it was thé disjoncteur, but overload remaind. We checked thé components, everything looked okay. If you find thé solution, we will be very interested.
Hi @Fine
This sounds like a defect, please contact your distributor for repair.
Thank you DANIEL for jour quick ansver. Our stuff is under guarantee, but thé professional who indtalled it is unfortunatly dead ans ils industry under liquidation. Do you Knox what tout do un that case? Thank you.
Hi @Fine
That's unfortunate!
best to contact your nearest distributor / installer, or ask Victron sales in your country who to contact.
Yes, hes, he was a gold Guy! Died toi young... Fort us, thé problème is, and dont laught, that we are living in an island un France called corsica. No victron industry un thé neighbourghood! L'ost! Do you have a solution? We have discovered that when we cover thé pannels with blankets fort a while, it seems tout work again fir a while. It is as if thé device thinks that there is toi much juce coming from thé battery ans that it can t hold it. Do you have an idéa about this? Van it Côme from thé regulator? And thanks again for your answer and for jour rapidity DANIEL.
Can the regulator ne thé cause of thé overload?
