In another example where the bank size is 500 Ah or more and the Max Chg rate 
is set to 50%, the calculation would be: 500 ÷

 

5 or 100 amps × 50%. The total 

output would be 50 amps with 40 amps going to the house battery bank and 10 
amps to the engine battery.

Load Sense

Configurable setting

This setting lets you enable or disable the load sensing function.

When to use

Enable this setting if you want the inverter to conserve battery power when there 
are small loads or no loads applied.

Outcome

A small load like a clock display on a microwave may not get power. When loads 
are below the load sense threshold, the inverter will turn off the output to save 
battery power.
