3.2 Bridge Relay Open

O
Written by Ollie Wells

Symptoms:

  • Bridge relay is open when it should be closed. Example: Installer turns the rotary switch ON and the BRG goes off grid.

Cause:

  • The Bridge feed being landed on a breaker in the load tray instead of on the Bridge main lugs.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  • If Bridge Relay is OPEN but grid is present: verify that the Bridge feeder is landed on the line side of the Bridge, not the load side.

  • Ask for photos from the installer to confirm. This will look like the BRG feed incorrectly landed on a breaker in the load tray or the backup/non-backup lugs instead of the main lugs.

  • Ask the installer to de-energize all equipment (BRG feeder OFF, ESS breaker OFF, rotary switch OFF) and relocate the BRG feed to the main lugs.
