Hello Marconi
The issue with the pv input is this.
When I measure the pv input from the roof at the point it connects into the cabinet input connections (lower left in picture) I get the expected 253 vdc.
When the inverter is switched on but the isolator in the cabinet is off (lower right in picture), the voltage from the pv remains constant, when I then turn on the isolator in the cabinet for the pv, the voltage goes up to between 350 and 450 vdc.
When this happened I then isolated the pv supply using the external isolator I have fitted before the cabinet. Which effectively removes any input to the inverter from the pv, I then measured the voltage at the input connection to the cabinet and found the 100 to 200 vdc appearing at the input of the pv in the cabinet. If I turn off the isolator in the cabinet the voltage drops to zero, this led me to conclude that the dc voltage was coming from the inverter out through the input terminals in the cabinet.
Now I have no idea of how this is possible as this would indicate that the inverter is working totally incorrectly or that the inverter is somehow sending power to the point it is supposed to be taking it in.
When the inverter is on and working it only shows 252 vdc input from the pv (see Right hand pic) on the front panel of the inverter and it was not until I re measured the voltages of all of the terminals in the cabinet whilst trying to find any indication of what may be causing the problems I am having I discovered this issue.
I am somewhat concerned that this may be down to a wiring issue in the cabinet or the inverter but it is difficult to determine which without removing more wiring. Perhaps when I come to remove the inverter this weekend I will measure the voltage at the input connection to the actual inverter with all wiring removed to see if it is as above, when there are no other routes for the voltage from the inverter itself.
Feel free to ask for more information if this is required
Many thanks as ever and Regards
Tonyboy
