[RE-wrenches] Trace 4024 cutting out

[Chris Worcester]

I saw this once on a system I was called out to diagnose. a loose battery cable bolt was the culprit. It worked under a low draw of current, then cut out as the current rose, melted the battery lug severely by the time I saw it.

Customer with a 20 year old Trace SW4024 called.  I've been servicing this reliable system for the last 8 years.  He said after a delay the power shuts off when a moderate load comes on after 5-15 seconds, then back on, then off.....  Light loads no problem, the power stays on.  The inverter stays on the entire time (yellow light and that famous audio buzz) but I hear a relay? inside the left side of the wiring section with each change of on-off, off-on state. I assume its a repair to a service shop.  Ideas? Recommendations for repair shops?  I haven't been getting a response from the Solar Cowboyz in Grass Valley.Thanks,BillFeather River Solar ElectricBill Battagin, Owner4291 Nelson St.Taylorsville, CA 95983530.284.7849CA Lic 874049solar powered since 1982-- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software.https://www.avast.com/antivirus_______________________________________________List sponsored by Redwood AlliancePay optional member dues here: http://re-wrenches.orgList Address: RE-wrenches at lists.re-wrenches.orgChange listserver email address & settings:http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.orgThere are two list archives for searching.
