Persistent "Phase rotation wrong" warning

Hi,

So after setting up a 3-phase Multiplus-II-5000 system (not my first one), I get a “phase rotation” error.

I did check that the phases are configured correctly, that each phase goes where it’s supposed to go, etc.etc. Experimentally, I also swapped two phases on AC-In. No change, I always get the error.

The system looks healthy otherwise, AC-In voltages (as reported by the GUI) are correct, the grid meter says cos-phi is >.8 on all three phases … but I seem unable to get it to not show that warning after restarting the Multis, let alone actually connect to the grid.

Any ideas?

Just a thought, from unpleasant experience. It might be that provider line is not actually 3 phase, 2 of those being connected, by mistake, from transformer or distribution point.

I had such a case and it was difficult to demonstrate without a phase analyser / phase monitoring relay, got a 3 phase motor tied up and not running.

Hi Matthias. Do you happen to have a Victron grid meter (VM-3P75CT) installed? I have one and can see the phase rotation/sequence there. Here we have an odd L1-L3-L2 order (error of grid engineer) and thus during the configuration/setup of VE.bus you need to take that into account. Luckily you can let the LED flash to ID the target inverter..

Found it. Turns out that the idiot electrician (no, that wasn’t me …) swapped L and N at the first Multi’s AC-In. Sigh.
