Power Assist and Shore-power Frequency

I have a question. I’m concerned about using Power Assist when shore power frequency is 50hz, but my inverter is set at 60hz on our boat. As we travel, we go from 60hz to 50hz shorepower, and am worried about accidentally forgetting to change inverter frequency to match shorepower. Combining 50/60 is probematic.


I accidentally kept on the power assist with inverter set to 60hz and shore power at 50hz. I noticed that it went into power assist mode, but was inverting at 50hz.


Is the Power assist smart enough to match the frequency of the shore power, regardless of inverter hz setting? It appears this is true, but i wanted to verify.

The inverter will synchronise to the incoming frequency if it is within range. Same goes for voltage if it is in the inverter input range.
