Got my system up and running, zero real issues so far, everything is running smooth from charging the car, to powering house basics
I have my 6000xp with grid AC input available, no need for super rapid charging, 30A breaker, 8AWG wire, the setting: "AC Charge Battery Current(A)" had a default value of 24A (which is perfect, for the breaker size I selected)
When doing a "Quick Charge" to test everything, it accepts the command, I hear the relays click, it starts pulling grid power to charge everything as expected, all working well, except the rate doesn't line up with the value set.
at the 24A default setting it was pulling 2700W from the grid (240V * 11.25A), as a test I bumped it to 32A and it's charging at 3167W.
What am I missing here? is the value it wants referring to the battery amps? and not grid based amps? I'm running paralleled EG4 indoor batteries
The wire and breaker I have on my main panel feeding it can sustain 5760W of charging into it as it sits, so I'm missing a piece of the puzzle in my mind. Want to understand it before I start punching in numbers and playing around. In the web based controls the box says values range from 0 to 100.
Thanks!
