I have recently bought a single pan portable induction hob as an experiment with a view to possibly changing our gas hob to an induction hob.
The Multiplus is configured as an ESS with solar and Pylontech batteries. At present all AC connections to the Multiplus are on the AC in (it will shortly be re-configured to use AC out 1 & 2). An ET112 is fitted immediately after the mains connection and is connected to the Cerbo GX.
We have noticed that when the 2kw induction hob is set to ‘simmer’ ie 1-2 / 8 the Cerbo indicates wild fluctuations of power going to or from the grid. Is this an ET112 limitation so that it cannot react quickly enough to the pulsing power requirement on low induction hob settings?
When we re-configure our AC to use AC out 1 & 2 my understanding is that we will no longer need the ET112, hence the Multiplus will need to react to the pulsing power requirement of the induction hob. Will it be quick enough?
We want to be able to use our 9.6Kwh batteries to power the induction hob, and not be sending power to, or drawing power from, the grid, which appears to be what is happening at the moment.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
