Luxury loads on EG4 6000xp?

[Dralkyr]

I've heard that some inverters can do what I've heard called "luxury loads" that the inverter only powers if the batteries are at 100%. Is it possible to setup such a function on the 6000xp?

meaning that the A/C output of the batteries are connected to a dedicated panel, and there is some logic in the software that says if the inverter has a battery, and that battery is full, then turn on the output to the A/C, otherwise, don't output anything? That's interesting. What is the use case? If your load exceeded your capacity, or the duration you run the load would exceed the capacity, what good would that do?
Example: I have a pool pump, a battery, inverter, and panels. When the time of day hits 10 AM, pump starts, and ends at 4 PM. While running, it uses about 1000 watts, but I have 1200 or so coming in from the panels. Therefore, what I see is some of the PV output going to the load directly, and the rest charging the battery. However, if it were to be cloudy, I have nothing that prevents the pool load from starting.
Is that the situation you're trying to protect for?

My use case might be running a well pump to to a large reservoir, or charging small rechargeable batteries, or compressed air, or a water heater, or...

The 6000xp has a smart load function. Tho when it's off, it's off.

You would be needing another transfer switch to put it on a device that needs 24h operation.

This is what the AC-out 2 on Victron inverters does. You can program it to disconnect AC-out 2 if battery SoC is less than what you program it to

I have no experience as to the 6000xp.

Yes I think that if the EG4 could do it I would have heard that and not bought the Quattro. I love my Victron gear.

Unfortunately, this would not be possible. This inverter is not designed to be configured as you mentioned. Since the inverter is designed as an off-grid system, it relies heavily on both battery and solar power to support the loads. To operate the inverter as intended, two power sources are required.
