Hello,
I have a problem with RFI from my solar system. It's a cheap hybrid inverter (must pv1800) that can work on solar + batteries (offgrid) or work in bypass mode (from grid). I have massive RFI emissions from AC cables all over the house (I use AM radio for detection, I guess they act as antennas). As an amateur radio operator, it's a nightmare.
I put FT 240-31 ferrites with many turns everywhere, it helped, the inverter itself seems quiet now but the RFI comming from cables around the house (in the walls, ceilings ...) are still there. After hours / days of tests, I might have circled the problem, and I think it's a ground issue. Here are the results of some experiments:
The only possible configuration for it to be quiet is when I turn OFF solar panels + disconnect the ground from the inverter. I feel like there is the solution behind these resuls but I can't get it.
I live in France, where the ground is tied to neutral in the grid and in the house (I have a ground spike).
Any thoughts ?
(Please don't tell me it's a crap inverter , I know that ... but I dont have 2 or 3k for a fancy one so we will deal with it)
Thanks
