Cerbo GX/VRM shows wrong AC Load

I dont know if this is related to VenusOS update 3.62 or if it was so before 3.62 update, but how come AC Load is wrong? It only shows load on L2 (L1 and L3 is not 0 in reality). Also total consumption is higher than the input power (from battery).

If I reboot Cerbo GX it shows correct values for a few seconds then it changes to the picture above.

Is it a bug or why does it behave like this??

The correct AC Load should be battery discharge minus grid export minus critical loads, in this example:
1661-58-1196 = 407W split across L1,L2,L3 and not 1023W on just L2…

I have also tried to reset the VEBus and power cycled everything, but no change.

Check your phase-assignment on the meter and multi(s).

Seeing a 0 Load usually indicates, that the load is calculated as something negative (which it can’t be) and then displayed as 0.

If the installation is a new one I would suggest the gridmeter is in wired in wrong direction.

It been working perfect for 2 years until now.

calculated your values with different phase order
L1 -124 103 326
L2 -476 60 17
L3 548 248 853

-52 +411 +1196 = 1555 (+loss=1666)

if my AC load values (103/60/248) are realistic this could mean that phase order is not, is ist possible to change the phase order for your meter in VenusOS? in my system its fixed

No it is fixed for me as well.

Yeah, those numbers makes more sense. But do you suggest the grid meter should be wired wrong?

I would check phase L1 on Meter is connected to Multi L1.
you can also switch your multi to “ChargerOnly” that makes it easier to compare the values.

is also possible that Multis are wired not correct
L1 – L2
L2 – L3
L3 – L1
both are “right rotating field” and Multi will not complain :grinning_face:

Btw. I had a similar issue detected 3 years after installation. :face_with_peeking_eye:

I remember when I installed the system that Cerbo GX or VRM (dont remember which) gave a warning “Wrong phase order”. So I reconnected/switched 2 of the multis, and the warning disappeard
Strange that I never noticed this before. Thanks for your help, I will check the connections and report back.
