Programming a time delay for switching the Multiplus 24/3000 back to grid?

Hello,

is it somehow possible to program a time delay for the Multiplus (in an ESS system) before it switches back from battery to grid in case of an power outage?

In case of repair works on the grid I observed, that the first few minutes are often not stable and so the Multi switches to grid, back to battery then again to grid....

Is there a way to program a delay with assistants(?) with the goal to switch back to grid operation only if the grid is present continuously for about 5 minutes?

I have a hardware solution in mind but a software solution would be much more comfortable.


Regards

Rainer

This is a great solution, but might seem to not work because 3000 seconds is 50 minutes, and I for one would have given up hope and probably fallen asleep. Try 300s for 5 minutes.

Are you referring to where you can find to create and load these assistants on the VEconfig software? If so, disable virtual switch on the second to last tab and then go to the next tab called Assistants and load them by clicking on the add assistant button.
