[RE-wrenches] XW Pro failures

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

It must be an XW+ that died. The XW pro field circuit validation testing 
beta was complete in early 2019.

That XWP is still working fine for me. Not many failures unless the 
installer did not use surge protection.
If it was an XWP and you filled out the 10 year warranty, they might 
have your back still.

If you troubleshoot xw and find it is the power bridge PCB, I see them 
available on Ebay.
Schneider has not provided parts for out of warranty devices for 10 
years now.
