    Meter restarting ?

    Hello

    So weird one and new to me.

    When the stove runs a lot and pulls 30Akps sometimes it's fine but then sometimes it like restarts, however I see it then switches off the power feeding a seperate inevrter (on blue phase).

    So my thinking is when there is lots of current, eg stove at 30A and the geyser or what ever it then makes the meter restart, I don't know how to check this though as I may be down the wrong road

    The meter is going into overload and tripping. Depending on the meter, they trip, reset and trip again 3 times and if the load is still high it will trip and stay tripped. It then needs to be reset through the keypad.
