EG4 6000XP Fault 22

Good morning, my sistem has been in working order for about 30 days. Besides some trouble at first with comunications between my EG4 LLS all has been flawless.

Since yesterday system started to shut down and throw Fault 22. First time it happened it restarted itself again and everything went back online. Last night system shut down and kept trying to restart but faulted again. Finally decided to use my disconnect and left it in standby. Fault 22 on the manual states "Internal Overcurrent". Any ideas how to approach this? @SignatureSolarJames @EG4_Jared

System consists of one 6000xp, 5 EG4 LLS and 16 440watts solar panels.

Disconnect everything except the batteries and try again, then do the same one at a time with PV and ac input if you have it. Try and isolate if anything in particular is causing this error.

Thanks for the reply. Some additional info. The first time it happened it was during the day batteries were fully charged and the second time during the night at around 50% SOC. During the last time (night) load was at around 1500watts.

Would you be able to DM your inverter serial number and I will look into this.

Sounds like it shut itself down due to an internal fault. Power cycling to get rid of things like this might work...for a while. But something likely failed. On the otherhand, It has built in internal fault diagnostics obviously which is good. Better now than when out of warranty. Hopefully an easy repair.

We'll see, it would be a shame because I've been very happy with it.

Outcome?

We all would certainly like to know what happened here.

Sounds kinda similar to my recent issue

Hey guys, sorry for the delay. The last 22 fault detected, I could hear what I can describe as (the sound of a short). I was grabbing my head thinking my inverter was toast. I started to realize that it started to fault when it was raining hard. I remebered I had an underground line for some patio lights and some 120v conections. One of my dogs exposed / broke the pcv tubing protecting the cabeling and water intrusion was found on a splice that I did. I corrected that and the issue has not happened again. Not 100% sure this was the issue, has not happened again since corrections were made on the underground lines. I just started to think how water (in my case) could cause this. Like I said it only happened to me when it was raining hard and the patio was flooded in some areas.
