Hi @mt_geek
If a new unit is defective (or any unit inside warranty term), please contact your dealer for a solution.
What makes you think the capacitor is bad?
when I first turned on I started to smell that smell of a blown electrolyte capacitor. I am working with the Dealer but it is $936 to ship it to a repair center
It's hard to judge from here what the smell is / was... ('new car smell?')
Does the unit function normally? what is the reason you think it is not functioning well?
Have you smelled it when a capacitor blows up in a power supple, that is the smell.
with the power assist set at 27 amps it will start to assist at 27 amps and above fine. It is when the amps go lower than 27 it will not stop assist at 15 amps. The dc input does not go below 37 amps until it stops assisting then it start to charge
I really appreciate your help. thanks
I've seen a capacitor make a smoke-show and leak, but don't know what smell belongs to it.
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying, I assume you mean 'AC input' and not 'DC input' as you write?
how do you test this? what loads do you use?
also, any grid-code / assistants? (ESS?)
maybe you can make a video?
when it get to the limit 26 amps it starts to over assist and the ac input drops to 15 amps.
It's working perfectly in this video!
Please make a video where you can see this. And you have to give the unit some time to stabilize.
it won't be 'exactly 26A' of course.
Hi Daniël Thank you so much for all your help. I found out was going on. the Minimum assist power is 1600 watts on the 15k Quattro and 200 watts on the 5k Quattro. S I am going back to the 5k and manually switch to the 15k when needed thanks again.
