Keith:

We were getting an overload shut-down in an off-grid system (that we did 
not install).  We spent some time troubleshooting the AC side, since that 
is were the error was coming from, until, by process of elimination, we 
found loose battery connections.  Apparently the inverter could not find 
enough DC amps but was confused into thinking there was too much AC 
demand.  Tighten all battery leads and monitor the DC input voltage under load.
