Upon start up the slave inverter would not connect. We did not realize that the building service is 208, 3 phase. The bypass is 120/240 which the SW4048s could connect to without a problem. Outback says their inverters will not connect to this system because of the phase angle of 120 and their software.<br>
<br>
The phases are always going to be at this rotation, so I don't see a transformer helping solve the problem, but this is something I am really unfamiliar with.<br>
<br>
So the input at the inverter panel is two 120 volt phase at 120 degrees. The output to the EP is 120/240.<br>
<br>
I am asking if anyone has an idea of how to fix this problem? The goal is to have a grid interconnected system with battery backup.<br>
