Hello,

I have three Multiplus II 48/5000 and two MPPT RS 450|200 with Lead-Acid Batteries in my system.

The output of the Inverters seems to be hard limited to 10500W and I dont know where that limit is coming from.

There is no difference if the power comes directly from the MPPTs or the batteries, even when pulling an extra 8kW from the grid.

Limit Inverter Power and Limit System feed-in in the ESS Setting is turned off.

We have extra cooling fans for the Multis.

Do you have any ideas what the Problem could be here?

What sort of loads are you running? The 5000 value is VA, the wattage output will drop depending on the power factor of the loads.

What is the ambient temp in the room? At full power they will generally derate.

Ambient temp is < 25°C and the air at the output of the Multiplus is < 30°C with the external fans.

I once set the output from 500W to 15000W while the output air temp was 21° with the external fans off and it still wouldn't output more than 10500W
