tylersourgeon Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Inverter stopped working, green light but no display. Seems extremely warm. Left powered off for about 1 hour, no change when petted back on. Fan doesn't turn on either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Genetry Solar Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 just for thread continuity...did a video call, figured out that something had gone electrically wrong with the WiFi board (which controls the fans). Sending replacement parts to solve the issue 😉. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I just had the FETs short on mine Not sure what load it was running at the time as it died during the night It was scheduled to charge my car (3.3KW) at 1am but I don't know if it was still running at that time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickson Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I just had the FETs short on mine Not sure what load it was running at the time as it died during the night A Powerjack inverter will do this and I never know what happen . Your GS 6kw should not blow FETs . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you know what revision control board it has? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Genetry Solar Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 FWIW...if you're using pre-packaged Lithium batteries (i.e. EG4, etc.), they tend to have a hair-trigger on overcurrent situations. Especially on a 24v system, a startup surge can cause the batteries to trip--but this doesn't mean the inverter has failed. As a matter of fact, I've heard (and witnessed via video call) from several customers that the startup surge from charging the inverter's main filter caps will cause EG4s to fault out.

Steve Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Correct my GS 6k rev C blew FETs I know about the hair trigger on my battery, verified it was the inverter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid Genetry Solar Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Weird. We need to get replacement parts to you--and try to figure out what caused it to fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
