Captain YM asked Jun 23, '24

I have a quottro 24V and have connected a 3000kw gen to line 1.

Upon starting the genetor up it goes into overload. How do you limit the input current on line 1 for the generator.

I am able to limit line 2 with the shore power?

Thanks

Lower your input current limit down until the generator is comfortable. (Possibly 15A)

Then power control will determine what can be done with the power coming in.
