Adjusting AC input current limit
Adjust the AC current limit using the control knob. The display shows the set limit, and in case of multiple AC inputs, the display also shows the active AC input source (AC2, AC3, AC4).
When PowerAssist is enabled in the inverter/charger system, a minimum AC input current limit value applies. See the table below. If set below this value, the inverter/charger stops charging, opens its internal transfer relay, disconnects from the AC supply and starts inverting.
Current limits adjust in 0.5A steps under 10A, and 1A steps over 10A. For instance, an 11.1A limit rounds to 12A.
The control panel prevents setting a limit below the inverter/charger system's minimum AC current. If the AC input current limit needs to be set to 0A (below the inverter/charger's limit), quickly turn the knob anticlockwise. The control panel display shows 0.0, and the inverter/charger(s) will stop charging and start inverting. Turn clockwise to revert back to the minimum AC current limit.
AC voltage (V) rating | Power (VA) rating | Minimum configurable AC current limit (A) |
|---|---|---|
120 | 2000 | 5.5 - 8.4 * |
3000 | 7.5 - 9.5 * | |
5000 | 13.0 - 13.4 * | |
10000 | 18.5 | |
230 | 500 - 1200 | 2.4 |
1600 | 2.4 - 2.8 * | |
2000 | 2.4 - 4.5 * | |
3000 | 3.0 - 4.5 * | |
5000 | 3.9 - 6.4 * | |
8000 | 7.6 - 10.5 * | |
10000 | 8.6 - 10.5 * | |
15000 | 10.1 - 14.5 * |
*) The exact value depends on the inverter/charger model. Refer to the "Minimum input current limits" spreadsheet, located in the "VE.Bus (Multies, Inverters and Quattros)" folder in the firmware section on the Victron Professional website.
