Hi All. I have an off grid system with a 8kva generator and a 5kva Multiplus. We have all our mains electrical demand feeding off L1 on the multi. We also have an electric pottery kiln which draws about 16amps (for 8-11hrs per load) direct from the generator - not via the multi. Currently, we drop the max amps (on multi) to 12 thus allowing generator space for the kiln. My question - Could I connect the kiln to L2 (live only on generator) on the multi; set the max amps to 28 ( to protect the generator) and let the multi control the flow of power between L1 and L2? The kiln has an on/off program (15sec on then off) for the first few hours, and am concerned this may put excessive pressure on the multi. Any thoughts, concerns or comments welcome.
