Yes it’s turning out to be one of those days, I posted in another thread about my installation issues with my recently purchased used multiplus
But since I had some downtime I decided to reconnect my solar panels and get some power for the day while I wait for my mk3 adapter
So I reconnect the panels to my busbars, which run through 2 double pole breakers , one between the panels and the SCC and one between the SCC and the busbars
I found it odd that I saw 20v but no current
I went up to he roof, checked all the connections, tested each panel individually (no issues) then removed my 1-6 parallel adapters and decided to do a test in serial connection to rule out the posibility of a faulty adapter
So I rewire in series, test the voltage and the current at the panels, then again at my mc4 extensions, everything checked out so I flipped my breakers open to allow the circuit to pass, within 3 minutes my SCC started smoking up, I shut it all down immediately
Not sure why the universe wants me to suffer today but it’s not going well
