VE.Bus Overload L1 without any reason - Multjeplus

I added second battery to existing, rewired everything. No heat build up, all seems properly wired.

EXCEPT now i started getting Overload L1 warning with consumption not being anywhere near specified max output of 3000VA (for example Warning L1 on 1000W consumption). T is around 20C, VRM is logging at 1m.

How can i fix this?

Hi @JJ-O-JJ

It's probably a millisecond ac spike that VRM can't pick up because it's too granular. But the Multi can, and is reporting it. In your charts a couple of them seem to coincide with a load, the alarm possibly from starting that load.

I get this from a household pressure pump. I once replaced it's start capacitor, and that fixed it for a year or so, but it came back, and I ignore it now. The Multi can handle it.

If you look in the VRM Alarm Logs it may say cleared after ~20 sec, but it will do that always, even for a mS event. There's nowhere I'm aware of where it actually records how high it went.

Consider also the possibility that it's telling you that your load is actually faulty.

Only loads running are fridge (50W) and dehumidifier, around 200-300W.

The problem is this is the new behavior, and was not present last year, with same loads. All loads are 1-2 years old.

Warnings being triggered with lower consumption than 2500W.

Compressor dehumidifier seems the culprit. Even if only 300W working watts, when i have some additional loads running (around 1000W), it seems to consume so much it triggers overload.
