Hi
Have a generator connected via relay in ccgx works fine starts when required.
Would like to use generator for large loads for example welding.
Can I put a switch in parallel with relay to manually start generator that is easy to access near welding area?
If so when manually turning generator on when welding will the ccgx isolate charging the batteries when they are full and running generator for hours not harm batteries?
Thanks
Matt
You didn't say anything about the rest of your system. But in general with Victron components all interconnected, overcharging the battery wouldn't be an issue.
You also don't talk about how your generator is connected, but I'd guess you could parallel a switch with the CCGX start contacts to manually start the generator.
You could also set up a condition in your Victron inverter to start the generator when the load is greater than a preset value. This might not work if your welder puts enough load on the inverter to cause a overload before the generator has a chance to start.
Again, it would help the community in answering your questions if you could provide more detail in your system.

Want to connect switch in parallel to relay of ccgx to start generator for welding which is connected direct to generator.
