Overload alarm when pluging-in in some "power-hungry" equipment

Hello,

I have a system consisting of a Victron Lynx ION/BMS/1000A and a Victron Quattro 24v/8000va/200a charger/inverter.

When I plug-in some "power-hungry" equipment, the "overload" alarm LED shows up, and the system changes from "pass-through" mode to "assisting" mode.

The system then sends back current to the grid too!:



The only way to stop this behavior is to lower the maximum AC input current that it can take from the grid, for example to 12A. Then it changes back the flow of the current and then I can rise it up again (no more overload).

Has anyone ever had this issue? How can I resolve this?


Thank you,

Can you describe what other components you have in the system? (a Venus device obviously)
ESS or other assistants used?

power meter in the system?

Also check the Quattro settings for power assist (boost factor?)
