[RE-wrenches] Imax disturbance Error

[Garrison]

I was troubleshooting a site on Friday with the same Imax error on the same SB8000 inverter. Took the cover off and found a cracked capacitor. 

Inverter was manufactured 12/2021 and SMA is telling me it’s out of warranty (by a week). I’m
trying to appeal to their humanity. 

Good luck!

Anything that I can do that may not require replacement?  Very tough communicating to SMA while on site and of course, this always happens on Friday night.
