[RE-wrenches] Midnite AIO Random Unexplained Shutdowns

[Jay]

So frustrating. 

A few questions. 
Does the inverter restart on its own?
Has it done this since install?
Or is any new loads?

I have had a LUX power 12kw do something similar. I don’t know if it is connected to your issue. 

I finally tracked it down to a small 1/2 wave heater load in a bidet. 

As I learned more from some blogs and talking to people, the issue at least with the the lux is if the total AC  loads are high enough all works fine. If the total loads are low enough, typically under 1kw, and the 1/2 wave is around 300 watts +/- it’s enough to shut the inverter off. 
It does auto start solar least that’s good. 

That system was web connected and eg4 couldn’t identify what the cause was from any of the online monitoring. They said check grounding and neutral bonds etc. obviously that wasn’t the issue. 

Good luck

Jay

I’ve been trying to train the customer to do it himself. (bypass mode, standby, etc. I did install a bypass switch and I also installed a bluetti battery on the router.)

The inverters will simply shut off, going into standby with no power to the loads, and absolutely nothing in the fault logs. Turning them back on with the master inverter power switch or remotely with app restores normal operation for some random period of time before it happens again.
