No inverter power output for a period
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2023 3:21 pm
Hi All,
I've had my Fox H1-5.0-E for nearly a year (2 weeks away). Had a bit of an odd problem earlier today where the output dropped to 0 for a few hours and then came back.
I've had this happen once before when I had the car charging and so the inverter was outputting max for a period and it tripped the breaker, but this time it was just doing about 400W. I checked the breakers (and then toggled) but made no difference.
My immediate thought (and what I was going to do once work had finished today) was to buy a new MCB as the one provided wasn't big enough anyway (only a 16A breaker which is too small for a 5kw output) but as it has magically come back without me doing anything it probably isn't that.
The other thought is the temperature? Does anyone know what the operating temperatures for the inverter are? It crept over 45C for a bit and then came back down close to the time it dropped off.
I was wondering if anyone else had seen this before?
