Customer of mine gave me a call. (I did not install this particular 10KW PV system)
He says when his PV system produces the full 10KW output, it raises his voltage on LINE-1 from 120-ish to 132-ish. (L1 to ground)
The only reason he even noticed it was because his RV was plugged in at the time and he has some kind of Factory installed Surge-Protection on his RV. It would shut off and give him an error code stating the voltage on Line-1 was too high. He used to think it was the RV but he recently purchased a new RV and it does the same thing.
He has already had the POCO out there and supposedly they have changed the transformer and made some adjustments??? (Not exactly sure what that means!)
He has had the solar pv installer out there and they said everything was fine on their end.
The ONLY thing I could think of was to swap L1 & L2 on the pv inverter breaker and see if that makes any difference!?!?
He did this and is going to let me know if it happens again and if it is still on L1 or if it is now on L2.
Any thoughts?
