Victron/lifeblue system 99% functional except
Hey everyone, been a while! I have my solar system installed, it is all Victron (5000w 12v quattro inverter)equipment with LiFeBlue(3x 200ah lithium)batteries. That means I am using the lynx bus bar and shunt to connect everything to the batteries safely. Most of the system works, I can put power in the batteries and use that power on 110v, can’t test out the 12 V yet but that shouldn’t be a problem. All of the information on the system is viewed through the color control screen made by Victron, and everything appears to be working properly .
However, I have gone through two lynx shunts. this is a fuse block that goes between the two busbars, it holds an 800 amp CNN fuse. The fuse has not blown, but both times I installed a new shunt it worked for a split second and then sparked, never to show a sign of life again . The shunt limits current to the batteries, and also prevents overcharge and over discharge. Its a ‘smart’ bus bar, and the spark appeared to happen on the small computer board next to the fuse in the shunt.
Even with the shunt not working, I can still use the system normally but i wont until its 100%. I can put up pictures when I get home in about an hour or two, but any ideas or thoughts will be helpful. Thank you all!
