xw6848 fault f01 shutdown on ac startup
My Xw inverter all of a sudden is not starting my 3 ton ac unit, it has worked last year. The 1st start of the day I will lose power due to the inverter shutting down, then it will work. The battery volts dont drop below 55 volts. Any idea why this is starting to do this all of a sudden? The ac unit is only 1 year old and uses 15 amps max running.

XW6848 inverter with 2 X mppt 60 150 CC , with Canadian solar 260Watt panels 2 x 3.5 kw array

Hi new2..,
Do not see a reference to the batteries that you are using, in your Signature.
I Had thought that they might have been GC-2, but that is unlikely, due to you having a 7 kW PV array.
I would still guess that your batteries might be, at least part of the issue. It is difficult to see the effects of large transient loads on most metering devices.
Suppose that there could also be some issue with the A/C.
What batteries are on this system. Believe that your system is a Grid Backup, IIRC. Vic
Are you sure you don't have warnings also like low DC as Vic was asking.
Since this worked before, I would say your solar was supporting the inverter then and now it is not.

You have the grid right? Maybe you are trying to self consume and I can understand that but adding a soft start to make this work is really a band aide. The variable speed compressor that is inverter based is the way to do this.

Glad it works but one would never do this if they lived Offgrid.
