Help with MultiPlus alarm notification

Hi I have a Victron MultiPlus 48/5000/70-100 used in a utility backup solution, which has been working fine. Recently I received two alarm notifications per email: 'Overload L1 on VE.Bus System' and 'High discharge current warning on Battery Monitor', followed by two emails 1 minute later: 'High discharge current warning cleared on Battery Monitor' and 'Overload L1 cleared on VE.Bus System'. Is this something to be concerned about? Have never had them before. Many thanks

Hi C. With both devices picking it up, fair to say it 'probably happened'. I woudn't be concerned, just raised awareness. If it recurs, maybe time to check out the downstream appliances that might be causing it.

I see this too very occasionally, and am almost certain it's a water pressure pump that might be dying.

At worst, an ac short-circuit or something silly. Who knows, that email could save your life? But don't panic, just raised awareness, hey..
