Xantrex 2.0 Hardware Inverter/Charger

[Don Bradner]

I blew up my Prosine 2.0 today. Had a full load of everything on at once (3 A/C,
water heater, etc.). The 50-amp breaker on the park pole went, as did the master
breakers inside and the inverter breaker. I knew I was in trouble because the
stuff on the inverter went off also. What I found after messing around was that
the inverter is showing "relaywelddetect0"

In order to have any power I have to have the Prosine off at the switch on the
unit. Even running that way I'm getting occasional loss of power on the inverted
circuit (which is in pass-through), which self-resets - I don't know what could
be doing that except the inverter.
