I have 6.16Kw DC Solar electric system installed on a SE SE5000A-US (240). Everything works normally until... The home owner turns on the hot water and as its elements turn on (3) 37.5 amp 240 volt draws the amperage slowly rises from about 17 amps 240 volts at roughly solar noon (peak production) to 22 amps which causes the inverter to throw error code 13 and reset.

N/A
AC Current Surge
The internal hardware that measures AC current has measured substantially high output currents. This may occur because of changes in the AC voltage or a switching load near the site.
If the fault persists:
o
Check the AC connection to the inverter
o
Check with the grid operator if a large surge source or irregular load exists near the site.
I know this draw is a ridiculously huge draw. 112 amps when all three elements are on. I told solar Edge and they told me that the inverter is running properly until a pre existing condition occurs. And that is it. They have nothing more for me. I asked if a larger inverter wouldn't rise high enough and they told me it might just take longer to reach the error code. They also said that is an absolute first for them. They have never had a case of it before. Any one have any similar cases or more importantly any solutions.
