Victron. Want to hire an expert. Around SE.

I don't see any ethernet cable between the inverters so I'm guessing they are not synchronized.
 
A 120/240 split phase device will NOT run on 120/208 WYE volt split phase, The neutral is not in phase.

There must be syncronization of some matter, probably they didnt show that detail.

There must be some misunderstanding.
Nobody is claiming that.

I was under the impression that they are both 120VAC.
Another bit of the topology to confirm.

In europe three phase is 230 volt WYE connected where all three legs are 230 volts to neutral and 415 volts leg to leg. but in the U.S. we have both three phase WYE 120/208 volts for homes, apartments, offices, etc where all 3 legs are 120 volts to ground and 208 volts leg to leg and we have 120/240 DELTA where A&B phases are 120 volts to ground and C phase is a non standard voltage some say 208 volts to ground buy in reality it is 165-180 volts, depending on the A and B phase loads, used in industry , and all leg to leg voltages are 240 volts, A-B, B-C and A-C
 
The synchronizing data can be transferred many ways, I would think that VE connect could handle that within the VE connect cabling,
 
The panel does not have L1 and L2 interleaved so you can't have a double pole breaker.
Air conditioner 1 is on the left side of the panel on a 20 amp breaker and air conditioner 2 is on the right side of the panel on another 20 amp breaker. So I conclude they are 120VAC units.

Did not understand that they were 120 volt air conditioners, people using two inverters are more likely to use split phase, I assume....

but you know where ass...uptions lead...
 
VE connect seems to be properity Victron, My Victron Skylla -TG chargers are pre Victron connect

I have no doubt the higher layer protocols are proprietary but the I suspect the cable with be cat 5 or higher un-sheilded twisted pair.
 
Thin blue trace VE connect from the inverters to the Cerbo logic unit, does seem to be RJ-45 connectors
 
Here is a Victron stumper, I connect 4 solar panels in series (210 volts DC) to the inputs of my Victron Skylla TG battery chargers and charge my battery banks with them (2 Skylla-TG Battery chargers) .....no inverters, DC into the chargers
