Solar inverter nuisance tripping
Hello We have a Solar installation that has very occasional nuisance tripping. We have a Wylex CU in the garage, that has a WS102 100A main switch - feed to that is from a 32A MCB on the non RCD side of my main CU in the house. The garage CU has 32A and 6A 30ma RCBOs for sockets and lighting...

contactor vs. shunt trip breaker | DIY Solar Power Forum
Some will point out (and I agree) that this is a Pro rather than a Con. If it trips, it can be good operational procedure to require manual restart - e.g. you''re more likely to correct the issue. -----I have Batrium and a 400a SACE S5 shunt-trip - mainly because e-bay/used ones are nicely priced for a 400a ''breaker''!

Is AFCI+GFCI breaker tripping in main panel
Apparently the main panel breakers trip when switching the circuit from LINE to GEN (or maybe from GEN to LINE) on the MST. Does anybody know if using a Tier 1 quality inverter (e.g., Victron or Sol-Ark) would eliminate these C/AFCI+GFCI breaker trips? Or are C/AFCI+GFCI breaker trips in the main panel inevitable when using a Reliance Controls MST?
