Added new mods and new Enphase micros to an (E) Enphase M250 system.
The new micros are M250240-IQ7-S22-US, these are the modern replacements for M series micros, but they look like IQ series
Since commissioning, these new micros are not reporting or super screwy.
What is up?
Envoy has not moved and is AOK.
Power Line Communication is 100%.
Existing micros are reporting AOK.
I am told the issue is, for the new array, I used Q cable which contains only L1 and L2. They expected me to use the older Engage Cable (round, 4-wire) which also has a neutral and ground.
Seems the neutral is related to the communication.
They supply an adapter with the new micros so you can mate the Q connector (2-wire) on new micro to the Engage connector (4-wire) on old cable.
This adapter has a "filter box" on it that commits some voodoo in "bonding" the neutral and L1 for comm. purposes............
Any experience with this issue?
PS I have solution, but want to hear others first.
PSS the micros have been manually provisioned for good measure - and to no avail
