What Is the Maximum PV Input Current per MC4 Connector on a SmartSolar 150/60?
The controller supports a maximum PV short-circuit current of 70A across its MC4 input and delivers up to 60A of charge current. Each MC4 connector pair is rated for the current of the string or combined string array wired to it; standard MC4 connectors are typically rated around 30A, so large arrays should use a combiner box or properly sized MC4 branch connectors rated for the combined string current, with PV Voc not exceeding 150V.
Why Are My Victron SmartSolar MC4 Connectors Melting?
Melting MC4 connectors usually indicate loose or damaged crimps, mismatched connector brands, or current exceeding connector ratings. Use matched-brand MC4 pairs, verify crimp quality, and split high-current strings across properly rated connectors or a combiner box.
What Do Error 17 and Error 2 Mean on a SmartSolar 150/60?
Error 17 indicates the controller entered low-power or standby due to excess PV voltage conditions or internal temperature limits — check PV Voc against the 150V limit and cooling. Error 2 signals over-temperature protection: reduce ambient heat, improve ventilation, or reduce load. VictronConnect displays full error details.
