Wakespeed and MPPT

I have a strange issue that when my main engine is running with my big alternator connected to a WS500 that randomly my MPPT chargers go offline. I have 3 MPPT chargers connected via a USB hub to a Cerbo. If I pull the USB cable and re-plug it then it all settles down again.

Until a few weeks ago it was all connected to a CCGX which had exactly the same issue. I replaced this with a Cerbo to try and resolve the issue.

I wonder what that has got to do with the Wakespeed. Is the WS connected to the Cerbo and if yes, how?

Another potential issue could be the USB hub. Make sure it's a active hub and NOT powered from one of the Cerbo USB ports.
