[RE-wrenches] Trace 4024 cutting out

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

I meant to say full load test it with a couple of 1500 watt heaters.

Load test it! It may be the last time. It also
might be bad contacts on the transfer switch. A good tech can switch AC1
and AC2 or may have the relay.

Chris and Jerry, 

 Sorry, I forgot to mention I
did exactly that, had the Fluke clipped to the + and (-) of the pack and
watched it as load was applied. Yes, voltage fell but never got below
~24.4V when the inverter output stopped. Checked tightness of all battery
connections, terminal to terminal cables, virtually no corrosion anywhere.
Also, inverter stayed ON, just the output cut-out, then back on then off,
then......

Look at the batteries, use a meter right at the bolts going in to the
inverter, sounds like low voltage cut out.

 I haven't seen this one until yesterday.
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,

 Bill
