I have em24 3phase power meter
MultiRS Dual Tracker on L3
It is always getting some power from grid
How can I prevent it from getting this from grid?
As the grid is permanently connected and because of the hardware design of the Multi RS where the AC In is almost a direct line/connection to AC Out, the Multi RS, in order to compensate for the power consumption variations and to keep grid consumption to zero, it continuously tries to fine tune it's frequency in order to be ahead, behind or exactly on the grid waveform in order to apply the Kirchhoff's circuit laws in AC domain. We are dealing here with rotating vectors (phasors), because voltages in AC circuits add as vectors, not numbers.
Now, with a variable uneven and distorted grid waveform and with, sometimes, reactive load(s) those variations appear.
Don't think you can do anything, because making the Multi RS more active and responsive to those power variations and compensations will be more stressful for all the components...

Maybe I can change em24 to VM-3P75CT in order for the system to behave faster.
But overall - thank you for the explanation.
This is why I still keep King 5k before Victron, which makes possible to have 0W usage, because of double AC->DC->AC conversion hardware design
You can set an AC ignore function in the settings.
Where exactly can I find this settings in MultiRS? @Alexandra
When MultiRS opens a relay - VRM is not getting data from em24 meter into a system. It behaves like no AC grid meter.
Doesn't fit in what I want to have
I want 0 consumption when there is plenty of battery and solar
Currently it uses up to 2kWh daily from grid, which is not ok
@Alexandra
Usually the RS on my system draws maybe 15w.
You must have alot of reactive power in the system for it to be all over the place.
The grid set point is not editable.
How do you have your battery set to cycle?
> The grid set point is not editable.
it is editable via NodeRED, instead
not editable just yet.
Waiting for the new firmware and Venus to land anytime soon
Even if you could edit it, grid quality and load and reactive power would make it interesting to keep.
The way I found to manage this is to enable Conditional AC Input
you can change gridsetpoint in ESS but it will always try to balance on grid
Will wait for the 1.17 firmware for MultiRS

2 x Multiplus 2 48/3000 (parallel on phase 1) in ESS: grid setpoint not reached
Why my battery does not load ? Please have a look ...
3rd Phase feed in current following 3rd Phase Critical loads current.
Setting negative grid setpoint limited to 80W feed in
Fine tuning - Grid connected system still importing power from the grid
