AC Input Current Limit
This menu controls the amount of current that the inverter can draw from the source(s). The menu has
independent settings for two different AC sources. In the most common applications, one source is the
utility grid and the other is an AC generator. The settings are labeled accordingly.
These settings should be adjusted to match the size of the input circuit breaker or input conductor. This is
intended to protect a generator or source that may not be large enough to supply enough current. If the
combined charging and loads exceed this setting, the inverter will reduce its charge rate and give priority
to the loads.
If the loads exceed this number on their own, the charge rate will be reduced to zero. This setting may be
assisted by the Input Support
function, if present in the inverter. (If present, see the inverter
Operator’s
Manual
for information about this function.)
If the loads still exceed this setting, the input breaker may trip. The unit will display an event with the
following warning (see Figure 23 and Figure 47):
Input Amps > Max .
This menu has an independent current setting for the inverter’s battery charger.
If multiple parallel inverters are installed with an AC source of limited wattage, the total combined
amperage settings for all units must be less than the AC input circuit. The inverters do not perform this
calculation. It may be necessary to divide the input size by the number of inverters and assign an equal
part of the amperage to each port. See the inverter
Operator’s Manual
for more information on managing
input current.
To access the
AC Input Current
Limit
menu
1.
Access the
Inverter
menu as shown in Figure 71 on page 75.
2.
Use the control wheel to highlight the
AC Input Current Limit
menu.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
3.
Use the control wheel to adjust each set point.
Press the button in the center of the control wheel to accept the selection.
This should cause the highlighting to advance to the next set point.
Repeat for each set point.
4.
After setting the parameters for each set point, press the
TOP
navigation key to return to the
Main Menu
screen.
