Get a Micro Air... Mine started my 4T before I got one, but definitely caused a brown-out.Read through this thread and just wondering if the issue with starting the 4 ton AC was resolved.

There is your problem. You need to update.1312. Has no problem running it. It's starting it.
Funny how another guy is having the same exact issue in another thread with 4t ACThe updated firmware will fix it, I personally guarantee it. BTDT.

So what is the actual surge capacity? Is that based on 12k or?FAAB-1818

- (Same as fAAB-1818)based on FAAB-1616 and FAAB-1717
- 1.New feature— Parallel Setting Data Sync, synchronize the settings of primary and subordinates inverters.
- 2.New feature— Gen Boost, which enables the PV and battery to work with the generator together when the generator power is insufficient to handle the load.
- 3.New feature— Battery Backup Mode. When Enabled, the bateries will stay at the appointed SOC (default 100% SOC) unless there is no grid or grid abnormality or no generator port input.
- 4.New feature—N PE relay control
- 5.New feature—Gen over load alarm, if the generator power is greater than GenRatedPower+500w for 1 minute, an alarm prompt will appear.
- 6.Newly added—127/220V GridType. When set GridType to 120/208V, set EPS Voltage to 220V, the grid protection rules can be automatically adapted.
- 7.Newly added—Grid Peak-Shaving Power 2 kW, effective for corresponding time period 2.
- 8.Newly added—EPS overload recovery time is upload.
- 9.Newly added—Generator Cool-Down Time (Min) setting. After the generator is charged to the cut-off voltage, the inverter will not switch back to the generator for power supply unless it has not been shut down before exceeding the cooldown set time.
- 10.Improvment—Optimization of generator related logic. When manually starting the generator, as long as the GeneratorChargeEndSOC/Volt setting is not reached, it can still be charged. After stopping charging at GeneratorChargeEndSOC/Volt, there is a delay of 5 minutes for allowing to recharge to prevent repeated switching.
- 11. Improvment—Optimization of Quick charge.The inverter will automatically change its settings and use the AC charge function for the next one hour. After the charge is completed, the settings will be restored.
- 12. Improvment—The range of AC Couple Start/End Volt/SOC are enlarged.
- 13. Improvment—AC Couple can be used normally, when Micro grid enabled but generator is off.
- 14. Improvment—Adjust the range of lead-acid battery Ah settings from 50Ah to 5000Ah.The triggering current entering float charge mode can be changed (defaults to 0.01C).
- 15. Improvment—Surge protection supports EPS output by1.35 times rated power for 1 minute.
- 16. Improvment—Balanced load during parallel and on-grid mode.
- 17. Change—The Share Battery function in the US version is enabled by default.
- 18. Problem fixing—Fixing the issue of generator can not be able to shut down after being started up by Quick Gen start. Generator will be automatically shuts down after 20 minutes of startup.
Obviously they are going to update you to 1919, but every firmware update is likely further fixing your issue.

Update worked so good that now my AC won't start at all. It's 67 degrees here and would run it fine when it's cool out. Now it starts and runs for 5 seconds and says power interrupted or over voltage.The updated firmware will fix it, I personally guarantee it. BTDT.
Yup.Now days it's real hard to find someone that really know's how to fix stuff. They just want to replace stuff.
@Quattrohead will be right over! 8*)Update worked so good that now my AC won't start at all.
Did you try turning it off and then back on again?Update worked so good that now my AC won't start at all
Inverter gave no code. The AC startedRestart the inverter cold again, grid, pv and battery all off for a few then start it back up again.
Sometimes they seem to need a 2nd reboot.
Also give us the specific error code.
If your saying my grid is high your wrongI'd try disconnecting the grid, let the inverter run on it's own closer to a nominal 240v, and see if that doesn't solve the problem. If so, then your work is cut out for you, I'm not sure what the next steps would be, maybe the ES has an adjustment for voltage limits?
Wrong user's picture, . . .sorry, grasping straws.If your saying my grid is high your wrong
I can say I've not had any inverter specific issues with my pair since some of the Fall software updates. Even before then I hit them very hard last summer, thought early firmware releases had some interesting issues managing various edge case conditions, and flickering issues. Thus far, at least for me, these have met my expectations, and pushed out 20GW of electricity in less than a year. I'd be doing any testing with the latest firmware. If the Easy Start is showing an over-voltage fault running your AC then either the inverter or the Easy Start unit is faulty. That should be trivial to test with a recording meter.Nothing has changed on my setup. All the issues yesterday were from firmware update. I don't trust this thing enough to connect it to the grid. All wiring is the same since I did it in 2022. Been verified by EG4 with pic when I first installed and had issues. Only thing that changed was I had to pull out the 2 runs for the 6548's and swap for larger single run.
AC runs fine if I wire it to grid. Tomorrow a AC guy is coming to verify that my AC is all good.
