Victron system stops providing output power at night randomly

1000148691.jpgHi All,

Got a 15kva quatrro connected to 2 x 250/100s and a Freedom Won 30/24. Running on ESS to 80%.

Having an issue where the system just stops giving out power to loads. The loads go to 0 and power cuts. Even though there is mains power supply. If I drop the mains power supply then the system turns on. All settings are 100% but can't figure why it just stops giving out power.

Any ideas?

Attached pictures of AC output to show the drops - AC power was on at the time.1000148690.jpg

A couple of things to confirm here.

Is the system switching offor a fault state?

You can load the ve bus state widget.

What is the dc voltage both on the victron. And the battery doing?

A further comment, it looks like it is going under the zero line. Is i feeding back to grid there?

@Alexandra

the system stays on. it just doesnt give out power. no fault state or anything. im an installer and have done countless victron installations with ESS but have never had this.

cant see any reason why it would stop giving out power at roughly the same time of night. and if mains power is switched off then it resumes operation like normal.

no feedback set at all.

ESS #1 SOC low

ESS #2 BatteryLife is active.

Both Messages indicate WHY the multis are not discharging from Battery. Just need to find the cause, tho.

Any chance, you are not charging to 100%? Then, the socs discharge limit (with battery life active) will be raised by 5% daily (iirc), and eventually already hit 80%?

check "Console -> Settings -> ESS -> Active Soc Limit".
