2 Inverters broken down this week!

[Somecamel]

Don't know if its just me but had 2 inverters go this week, A diehl 3800s and now a SMA 1200.

Anyone else had anything?

wots with the diehl? was a thread a while ago about "101" code?

we had a 2500HF die on us a while back, think that's about it, and SMA replaced it straight off so no major hastle.

False alarm on the SMA 1200- Was a loose connection

The Diehl is a replacement from another Diehl that died back in October last year. I see Segen no longer stock them. Have replaced it with a Fronius now

Looking forward to the two month wait for SEGEN to sort out the return now

High ambient temps in a loft by any chance?

We've had two Power Ones go down on us and one Sunny Boy last year. Both SMA and Power One were excellent in getting it sorted though.

The Diehl was in a hallway, nice and draughty, 2nd time one of these have gone on us I'm afraid

I had a power one start smoking it was a internal chipboard fault ....

power one sent replacement next morning ....

*inevitable post about not using chipboard in an inverter*
