Hello all, I've set up a very modest system in my travel trailer, and the first time I wired all three panels to my 100/50MPPT, the unit charged my battery at 25 amps and then died.
I received a replacement from current connected immediately, credit to them, but I just wanted to verify my set up here so I don't have issues with the replacement and or can confirm I just got unlucky.
Solar: 3x 200w rich solar wired in series with 50ft of awg10 wire, connected through an Anderson style connector, then direct to the victron 100/50 MPPT
Battery: 1 SOK 206AH LiFE
Charger: Victron IP67 25amp
Inverter: Victron phoenix 1200VA
I have a 100amp main breaker to protect the battery, a 60 amp breaker between MPPT and bus bar. I double checked for 12v, correct polarity at the battery terminals of the MPPT, and checked polarity and open voltage of the panels before plugging them in, ~63v.
The first MPPT worked just fine on Bluetooth before connecting the solar, and seemed to be charging the battery at around 25amps for 10 minutes before shutting down completely, no lights, no Bluetooth. disconnecting for 5 minutes didn't reset it either. Anything I should check out more before connecting all three panels to the replacement unit?
