Afternoon all,
Just thought i would share my afternoon with you all.
so i have 2 x SMA Sunnyboy 1200 inveters both situated outside next to each other(IP rated of course), when i noticed an earth fault today.
Following the manual, i tested the string, + to PE and - to PE, both 0 Volts
So went onto page 59 - testing the varisitor inside.
When I started to loosen the lid of the inverter, a shed load of water came out of the inverter!!
The inverter has never been opened before since receiving it from the wholesaler!!
Ended up drying the inside of the inverter and there you have it, earth fault fixed!
Just a heads up for you all.
