Inverter overloads when i turn off my ac lights

I have a victron energy multiplus 3000v 24-volt pure sine wave inverter 70 amp.


I hooked AC lights and they turn on, but as soon as I switch one off the inverter overloads. We closed the circuit to the light and checked if it was the switch. Apparently when the light switches off, it sends a sudden signal to the inverter. My question is can I change something in the settings so that the lights switching off doesn't overload the inverter?

I run a huge load of 230V AC lights on a Phoenix 24/375 mostly under full load but had never a issue.


What kind of AC lights do you use?

Do they have an electronic in it?
