I have in line fuses between my panels and my 24v and 48v panels separated. The breaker did not pop! I smelled a foul electrical burning and found this in my feed in panel. None of my other breakers were burnt up, just this one. It was burnt up on the side that goes to my SCC. I was able to flip the breaker and get it all disconnected before a serious fire.
My question is, what was the cause? Was it the panels feeding to much? I figured that would have burnt the top side, where they go in if that was the case. I could be way off. Any ideas?
System was fine with no issues for 8 to 9 months.
My setup. 6x 12v 200w panels, 6x 24v 320w panels. Separately ran to separate SCCs. Victron Quattro 5k 48v. 24 320ah cells into 3 packs for 3 24v batteries with Overkill BMSs. In line fuses between each string of panels 15a.
I am just trying to figure out what I did wrong, so I don't make the same mistake or if you think I got a faulty breaker or both. Thanks!
