One end to the hot of one inverter and one end to the hot of the other inverters. Otherwise, it doesn't help your 240v loads.
Heat pump amps spiking (Fixed)

So if I used 2 like that it would work better. Or just use one.
I would think if both inverters had one each one would benefit when they both power the 240 v load.
Can we do this in the sub panel where each of the inverters hots land on the 60 A breaker instead of opening each inverter?

It has to be in parallel with the 240v load. In order to soften the 240v spike.
Will find out how good it works on 2 6548's tomorrow
What are you going to test it with a deep well?
My 4 ton AC
It's not really needed if you have no issues. It just gets rid of the sharp drop in voltage which shouldn't harm anything. Fixed my heat pump weirdness and microwave light flickering though.
I think it would be good to use them to lessen the shock on the inverters. Why aren't these mentioned in any manuals
I heard Growatt has a sizeable cap at the output...LVX's should've come with one for sure but it adds costs for the manufacturer.
I have two EVG 6500 inverters and two rack batteries and my well pulls almost 40 Amps inrush on each leg when it starts up. It runs the well with solar coming in but I have not tried it at night, batteries only.
Yeah I don't think his well is that big. The Honda 7000w geny has no issues with it.
I installed across the 2 hot legs in my panel. I will see tomorrow when I get home if it has helped. I have this ceiling fan that turns on when the ac comes on. Not sure when or why but it will be on here and there. I'm sure its from a voltage drop. I also had my led tubes flicker in the kitchen before. They are 4' hard wired in the florescent fixtures with no ballast. Also have them in all garage fixtures.
AC has a soft start and inverters don't spike over the % they draw. When I first got going I didn't have a soft start and would see 175% hit on inverters.
I have 30 kwh of battery and 35 405w panels.

Yeah gotta love it when you don't have to worry about the electric bill.I run my AC all day at 70 just because I can
A slight flicker is expected. You can always add more but monitor for any increase in idle consumption.
I will leave it and be happy then. I'm happy the fan isn't on for no reason. Come home and find it running top speed just about everyday.
I think that's caused by EMI and the cap does some of that filtering. It can cause all sorts of weird issues like your fan. That is probably why it fixed my weird voltage drop issue which affected mostly the heat pump. It should be a must-install item in my opinion.
I have each inverter feeding a leg in a sub panel. So I put it under each one.
