I have an operational split-phase system based on a Kohler 12kW Gas Generator coupled to a Schneider Conext SW4048 + 48V 100Ah battery.
I have noticed thru the Conext control panel that occasionally the generator is outputting only one of the hot wires properly - so instead of getting L1-L2=240V, I am getting L1-L2=120V and L1-N=120V & L2-N=0V. This is not consistent and other times I read the expected L1-L2=240V.
I suspect this points to the generator but I am not sure what else to do or how to rule out any other possibility.
Could someone with more experience troubleshooting electrical systems tell me what to do next?
Here is a summary of what has been done so far:
- From inverter to cabin [Inverter Output], I am getting the correct L1-L2=240V consistently.
- Inverter CP sometimes reads L1&L2=120V but sometimes L2=0V - see photo below.
- I checked voltage in the wiring between Generator-Inverter and I have confirmed that sometimes I am getting L2=0V
