Load Rating
- the appliance rated power (in kW)
l
Export TH
(threshold) - optional; the minimum power (in W) above which the excess PV power
will be diverted to the appliance. This value can be lower than the load rating. The default value is
5% above the Load Rating.
l
Import TH
(threshold) - optional; the maximum power (in W) purchased from the grid and
diverted to the appliance. The default value is 5% of the Load Rating.
NOTE
If changing the Export TH and Import TH default values, make sure they sum up to a
value that equals or greater than the appliance Load Rating value. Otherwise, the
device will turn off when there is insufficient power to divert to the appliance.
