No feed-in, AC Input current fluctuates wildly

No feed-in, AC Input current fluctuates wildly — Normal operation due to X-capacitors

SolarEdge · ESS Systems

What does No feed-in, AC Input current fluctuates wildly mean?

The AC input current may appear to fluctuate significantly, even becoming negative, when the system is in optimize mode with no feed-in. This is normal and caused by the X-capacitors in the Multi.

Common Causes

  • Normal operation of the Multi/Quattro's internal X-capacitors.
  • System is operating near 0W real power.

Repair Steps & Checklist

Click steps to track your progress.

  1. 1

    Observe the 'Input power' readings instead of the AC input current for a more reliable indication of power flow.

  2. 2

    Confirm that the system's optimization mode is correctly configured.

  3. 3

    Ensure the firmware of all system components is up to date.
