Multiplus Max Export Limit Not working

Good Afternoon,


Im am wondering if someone could maybe point me the right direction of why the max inverter output function does not work correctly with my system.

I have a multiplus 2 running on 18650 cells in a 15S40P configuration with a batrium watchmon 4 as my bms. I am currently running mode 2 ESS on the victron. Everything so far is working great. However the 'max inverter power limit' doesnt work. See below the overview of what I am running.


Ive tried adjusting this to different values in Venus OS but still no change in the behaviour. This is the setting.


I am running Optimized without battery life. If i put the kettle on it looks like this below. Anything less than 3kw the load on the battery is always around 400-500W.



However if I then switch the oven on so the house load is 6kw the inverter runs at max output.



I've tried not running phase compensation but im at a loss why this setting doesn't work?? Really I only want to run my system at 1500W but if the house load is high it ignors the max inverter limit.


Any ideas what this could be?


Thanks


Gareth

The max power affects how much the inverter tries to supply vs how much it passes through from the grid.

So if you have told it to supply only 2000w and you are using a 5000w load it will pull the other 3000w from the grid.

You could try remove circuits from the output of the multi that you do not want the multi powering.
