Thanks for your Answer. Maybe it is Firmware related and can be corrected in future.

Hi

One would hope so as the Mulitplus 2 are having issues with ripple relay control signals pulling current when doing nothing can be up 1700watts of power loss when the grid operator

sends the signals down the line to control hot water cylinders etc. in NZ

The frequency is about 350Hz
