EG4 Chargeverter only works at 50%

If you would like help just let us know.

I'd love some help...just not sure what would work. I'm going to do some additional testing by starting at 50a and ramping to higher rates.

Only two possible things that it could be.

120v or one of the "two" modules is unplugged.

Absolutely incorrect. I'm running right now at 85amps and 57v. Started at 50 amps and ramped up to 85 without any problems. It's charging as I
type this. Some other issue.

You said...unless I read wrong, it wouldn't charge beyond 70 amps.

A single module can reach 63 amps.

If I start at 70 it stops immediately.

Is it possible that your generator can't maintain HZ or voltage?

Have you measured the Volts and HZ under load?

Does your generator have EVO mode?

Are you running on propane?

 

[wildbillpdx]

It’s now running at 90a.

It’s now running at 90a.

Bad gas?

No to all. Just trying to get it working.

 

[wildbillpdx]

Bad gas?

No, fresh.

 

[Zapper77]

No, fresh.

What's the resting voltage of your batteries?

 

[wildbillpdx]

Not sure I follow your question. Batteries were at about 40% SOC when I started today.

 

[Zapper77]

Not sure I follow your question. Batteries were at about 40% SOC when I started today.

So around 52 volts?

 

[wildbillpdx]

Still working.

Just shutdown the generator...batteries at 75%. Very strange. I'll test again on another day starting at a higher amperage. Maybe let the generator warm up a little longer before testing? I did notice when I shutdown the gen the red lights came on inside the Chargeverter on both modules...maybe power loss indicator?

Also, I cranked amperage up to 100a and it topped out around 92, for what that's worth.
