I’m sorry if I have offended anybody, the whole reason I here asking questions is to figure out what I did wrong and how to fix it. Please tell me your diagnostics steps that I am not listening to.
ThisThe problem is with one or both of your inverters not the breaker, the breaker is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
Disconnect absolutely everything from both inverters except for the battery connections and then try each inverter on its own, make sure you have the displays plugged in so you can see if there is any life.
Also you should probably be using a precharge resistor, a regular 60 or 100 watt domestic light bulb is perfect for this as it will glow maybe half brightness at 48 volts and should slowly dim as the capacitors charge if there is no short circuit in the inverter.
Have a question for you 420, that is , if I haven’t piss you off as well.Remember, I never disconnected the IMO before pre-charging the batteries to the importer. That’s when the whole system went down.
And I did what you asked me to do, I disconnected everything, except for the positive negative since I got to the home.This
You can't run the same string of panels to separate inverters. This is the 1st time I've ever seen romex used for pv wire... Are you running that all the way up to the roof?Remember, I never disconnected the IMO before pre-charging the batteries to the importer. That’s when the whole system went down.
Yes, both inverter settings screens came on and parallel to together, and I have no issues.
Good.And I did what you asked me to do, I disconnected everything, except for the positive negative since I got to the home.
I do lol. Just a test situation. One of them does get pretty warm ?.This is the 1st time I've ever seen romex used for pv wire
? You haven't pissed anyone off. We're all here to help. @Quattrohead knows a heck of a lot more than I do. I learned so much from him / reading his posts in threads when I was researching and planning.Have a question for you 420, that is , if I haven’t piss you off as well.
With power only going to one inverter from the battery bank?Good.
Now find a regular 60/100w bulb and somehow connect it across the 125a circuit breaker.... don't worry it cannot draw enough current to run anything or blow up but it will tell us if the inverter is shorted.
If it lights about half bright and slowly dimms, inverter battery input side is good. If it lights half bright and stays there for more than....say 1 min the inverter is knackered.
Then test the other one.

This is excellent polite advice, said much better than I would have.Please don’t use Romex for PV connections. Or the wago connectors. And definitely don’t run the same string of panels split between two inverters.
Watch some 6500 wiring videos on YouTube. This setup is looking like a fire hazard. I’m not trying to be insulting but this is dangerous stuff.
It’s time to start from the ground up with safe connections.
Good.

Sorry that I’m not on the level that you want me to be on Quattrohea. I did what it sounded that you wanted me to do. WowGood Lord I'm out ?
