Ac In At EasySolar 12/1600: 70v Ac Even though the Grid is Not connected

Hi there,

I just observed something strange: The Grid is Not connected But when I Turn on the Switch for the Ac Input there is 70volts ac on the AC IN.

An IF i do connect the Grid, the whole unit goes into alarm mode.

Does anybody have an idea or has Seen this behavior before ?

Hi @Faraday

Did you properly ground your inverter casing? and where are you measuring the voltage exactly?

Hi @Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff),

I measure the voltage Right at the ACin 16A connector between L and N. Well, on the extension cable actually.

the casing is well grounded by using the proper bolt.

I did have the grid connected to the Unit but the circuit braker fuse Flicked - so I unplugged it and tried to find whats wrong. The Internal breaker did Not flick. Since then the Unit goes into Alarm (only Alarm LED on) - that state is not described in the Manuel unfortunately.

Hi @Faraday

Can you please measure this at the terminals of the inverter?

Also please measure with the breaker open and input connected.
