[RE-wrenches] question about Xantrex AGS

[jay peltz]

Hi ron,

Interesting problem.

The XW-AGS is a dry contact system so should be no voltage there, and since that "worked" for years, seems unlikely.

Only thoughts at this point are.

1. load on genny is too high.

2. generator is connected to the Grid input and it trying to sell back.

3.  any new loads or production sources added lately?

4. Its not the generator, but something outside of it thats changed.

Good luck,

Jay

System has worked well for several years but recently burned up the control board on the Onan. Client decided to purchase a new Onan instead of paying $1k for a new control board. The new Onan lasted one week and the same result, control board fried. He is consulting with me at this point - I didn't supply any of this equpt. - and Onan supplier is being completely unhelpful. I'm trying to do a little detective work here and discover the cause of the problem. I'm wondering if it could be the XW-AGS possibly sending too high voltage to the Onan controller. Has anyone had issues with these? Any suggestions?
