Voltage Drop with Chargeverter

[lowerpower]

I have 230ft of #10 AWG (4 wires, black, red, white, green) going to a subpanel where I have a 6000xp and a 14kwhh battery. Can I use the whole 30Amps that the #10 can handle into a EG4 Chargeverter to feed the battery even though the voltage drop would put it about 220 volts instead of 240?

I want to be able to charge/boost the battery with the grid via the chargeverter and keep the 240v on the output of the 6000xp. I do not want to have the 6000xp switch to my crappy grid connection.

thanks

I dont think the chargeverter would care. The wires might tho.

Hold on. No you cant back feed your panel with a chargeverter.

never mind. I dont think you are saying that.

The voltage drop won't affect the Chargeverter.

I believe there is a NEC rule for continuous loads to be limited to 80% or 24 amps. May not technically fall under the rule but just saying.
Anything else on the sub panel?

The most that the chargeverter can draw (in the worst case) is 23.75a.

Ummm! From EG4 spec:
Maximum Input Amps: 26A at 240VAC, 28A at 120VAC

Still, it can be adjust to pull less amps.

Nothing else in the sub-panel, #10 is rated at 35Amps, and is typically used with 30Amp circuits in the US. Its the voltage drop that is the issue. IF #10 can only do 24 Amps, it seems the chargverter can be set to that, good information

You can't do both over one circuit simultaneously if that is what I think you intended.

Not sure what both is, I only want to run the Chargeverter off the grid, all other loads are on the 6000xp

I guess I misunderstood what you were saying.
