Hey all,
I've got a tracer A 4210 with about 750 watts of panels connected and 12v battery system (4 panels, 2 in series and both in parralel).
From what I can find, these controllers should just limit power input when it's over their max rating (520 watts for this controller at 12v)
But when the panels max out the controller (520watts) for an hour or so, the controller turns off completely and resets. It actually has tripped my dc circuit breaker on my battery system too (200 amp). I've tried different panels and wiring the panels differently (just in parralel) but it keeps happening.
Can anyone see a reason for this? I thought these controllers are designed to just limit input watts? Controller temp isn't high either (doesn't go above 60 degrees Celsius either).
