Inverter issue

[TheLooks]

Most inverters have whats called a standby draw which means even if you are not using any 120v they are still using a small amount of power. If varies by manufacturer and the quality of the unit.

Turn off all loads and reset the inverter.

Then send another view of the display.

According to the manual it is a 2000 watt inverter/charger. (See screenshot of manual attached.)

What is baffling is... been having the inverter/charger on while plugged into shore power (when not using it for a couple of weeks at a time) for the 3 years we have this to trickle charge the chassis battery with the NOCO Genius 10 and never had this issue until this April.

Been trying to figure out why it all of a sudden begin causing the alarm and shutdown.

Sorry, just saw your comment. Will try this after work today.

Online forums about the xantrex issue of needing a reset suggest leaving it off for some time, to bleed down the capacitors that keep the settings alive. Let it set for a couple of days if you can.

The capacitors have a bleed off resistor.
That resistor has a very high value that makes an impatient person believe it takes forever to discharge. In the grand scheme of things those resistor(s) are part of the standby power consumption. The trade off of safe practice, and economy is a slow reset, but more than 5 minutes is unlikely.

But not what successful reset people report at times. Sometimes you have to stand on one leg to make things happen with no idea why.
