I have a small system in my RV and I am trying to track down some missing power, or so I think it is missing. I have tried to attach a screenshot of my VRM, but the forum won't let me, so allow me to describe the situation.
I have the following:
- Lithium Battery Smart
- Lynx Smart BMS
- two MultiPlus 3000
- four different MPPTS
- SmartShut is configured as a Power Meter between the above and the RV DC system
In the VRM screenshot the two MultiPlus's show 273 W, the DC Power is 46 watts, the charging is 381 W, for a total of 700W. But the PV Charger is showing 866W.
It looks to me like there are 166 watts which are not being accounted. Is that correct? I am guessing that is overhead from the two multiplus's and four MPPT, is that accurate? If so, it seems like a really big overhead to only be using 273 watts of the inverter.
Is there any way to get an accurate picture of where all the power is going? I ask because if my theory is correct, there is high overhead in the two MultiPlus, than I will look at wiring up the VE.Direct 800 VA I have for these smaller AC loads. But if it is somewhere else, I won't go the the trouble/effort.

I have reached out to my installer multiple times over the last few days to get a good digital copy of the wiring diagram and have not heard back from the company (we didn't part on the best of terms), so I photographed the paper copies I have and you can see them here:
