3-phase Quattro in ESS change Li-Ion Voltage to 41V for 30 seconds.

The above scenario occurs when there is a mains failure at council level. When we simulate a mains failure with the breaker, then it does not happen.

Hi Wehrner

ESS can use different sources for the battery voltage measurement. The CCGX menu Settings -> System Setup -> Battery Monitor shows the possible options.

E.g. on my system I have the following:

It is possible that a different "source" may give a more accurate battery voltage, and therefore not cause the Low-Battery Voltage alarm and shutdown.

Hi @Wehrner@onesolar.co.za

That won't help, the battery or battery connection is somehow failing. Please check that, and please read my other answer.

Hi @Wehrner@onesolar.co.za


it seems your battery disconnects for some reason, what type / size of batteries do you have installed, and what firmware is the battery on?

Hi Daniel, it is a 13.8 kWh BYD battery. Have checked all connections once more. Load does not go over 4 kW between all phases some times less than 1 kW and still get the error
