While it seems from turning off the soc gen control, the generator is running as it should, I don't understand how that explains the charging behavior, or why the inverter continued to ruin the generator without using it's output.</div><div dir="auto">Howie<br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Howie Michaelson<br>Sun Catcher<br>NABCEP Certified Solar PV Installer\u2122<br>Solar Electric & Heat Pumps Systems Sales & Service<br>802-272-0004</div><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jan 13, 2022, 1:32 PM Tuss, Lones <<a href="mailto:lones.tuss@enersys.com">lones.tuss@enersys.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Wrenches<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was able to contact Mac this morning. Luckily this system was on optics so we were able to go look at the start and stop conditions in the AGS programming and the Event logs.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The event logs stated the stop was caused by an SOC stop command.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In AGS this system is using 3 start conditions<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Voltage start , Load start and Soc start<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At the customer\u2019s request the Soc is set to start at 82 % and stop at 90%<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Which seems a little crazy to both Mac and I<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But to test if the Soc was indeed the cause of the short run.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We disabled the SOC start/stop. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We then started a bulk cycle to set the absorb timer to the 2 hr time limit as programmed in the inverter.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We raised the 2 minute timer above the current battery voltage to initiate a gen run.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The gen did start and at this point the gen has run for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So it does appear that SOC stop was the cause of the short run, as indicated in the event Log.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What neither or Mac or myself can explain is the graph on the Dashboard does not show the Soc above
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">80% I am not certain if it is due to a momentary spike that is too quick to record. At this point that is just a guess (sorry). But that is the situation.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I will say it was nice to have this on Optics as we could go visit the site and do everything from our respective homes.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mac thank you for returning my call and working through this issue. <u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">It will start the generator and warm it up normally and then connect and start charging as it should. After about 30 seconds to 1 minute it will drop the AC input, and put the generator in cool down mode and the charger will be disabled.
It will then continue to run the generator until you turn it off manually, presumably because it hasn't reached the stop trigger. <u></u><u></u></p>
