When running the multiplus in "inverter" mode, with power assist turned off, does the inverter ever function when connected to shore power?
For example, if the loads are drawing too much power to charge the battery and supply the inverter output, does the inverter take over to supply the output, without adding to shore power?
To phrase differently, let's take the example of a multiplus being retrofitted in a 30 amp RV:
The shore power inlet is a 30 amp inlet. The main distribution panel has a 30 amp main breaker and the box is rated at 40 amps max or so. If the 30 amp main breaker and 10awg wiring is left in place, power assist is not desireable when connected to a full 30 amp service, as this could overload distribution panel/wiring.
However, if connected to a 15 amp service, and the input current limiter is reduced, perhaps to 12 amps or lower even, will the inverter take over, without assisting the shore power input? Or are you simply restricted to pass through power with the input current limit you have now set?
