Filax 2 pops fuse

Hello, I have now tried 2 different filax 2 in three different installations. Grid power connected to priority one and victron inverter on the other. Seemingly randomly in all setups the grid fuse pop about 50% of the time when swtiching back to grid power from inverter backup. Is this just how it is, or could both units be broken in the very same way?

@Drogos

What size load is being switched? (And load type?)

What size fuse is blowing?

Tried everything from a single computer, to a home cinema and server rack. So, various tests between 100W and 2kW

Do you have fast blow fuses? And why fuses and not a breaker?

What inverter are you using there? Sorry for the questions. Any theories would be total shots in the dark without more details.

Only thing i can think off offhand is maybe a neutral live swap somewhere?
