Hi @ebrahim@brighthousesolar.co.za

Those VRM graphs are per-minute, and only reporting a reading at that particular instant. And depending on the sampling time of each input, may not match, nor balance. So it's hard to relate to a breaker trip issue happening a second (or mS) later by VRM-reported values.

Alarms, either on GX or VRM, need to be set up. VRM will even email them. You may well have a breaker overload issue, but this data/alarms aren't set to show you that..

Unless your breaker is faulty, you likely have a real overload issue. Detecting it is another thing..
