Hi all -
Energized my pair of Victron Multiplus IIs up yesterday with a partial critical load. The pair are configured to provide 240V AC, 120V per unit apparently coordinated to provide proper split phase between them.
Watching my Cerbo display, its kinda neat how they handle any imbalance. Since they are two semi-independent units, its no big deal if one provides 100w and the other provides 250w - both work at their optimal performance for their individual loads. When I throw 1000w of 240V demand on the system, each contributes 500w and all is good.
Made me wonder how the larger all-in-one 240V split phase inverters handle it? Do they internally have dual systems?
How does the utilities handle it? More importantly how does my utility meter handle it? (e.g. Am I charged at the greater leg amount? At the combined amount?)
Inquiring minds want to know! (And I figured somebody here probably does!)
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
