Well

Thanks for asking....it appears it was a multitude of things.

I was told, from a distance, we had the X240 wired incorrectly, and the well
pump could have also played into it. The well pump was shorted on one leg.
We also had modified a Coleman on grid genny to an off grid, using a
controller. It seems, for some unearthly reason, there was no output voltage
on it. They swapped it with a diesel, and she is working fine. So, that part
is inconclusive to date. Also, I was told we did not jumper the neutral bars
together to get the stacking correct? I wasn't there on site, so this is how
the reporting went.

Well, humble lessons learned. Some equipment issues, and it seems some
errors on our teams side.

Train, train, train, check, check, check. Live and learn!

Did you find out what was causing the short of the
inverter pack?
