Multiplus "Input current limit" not followed. AC input exceeds the limit given in the CCGX and on the VE config!!!

img-20201215-121551.jpgI have a Multiplus 24/5000 with a CCGX. Both the Multiplus and CCGX have an input current limit at 10 A (around 2300W). When the AC input is active the current goes way above the 10 A.

Any ideas?img-20201215-121534.jpg

Ok. I contacted my supplier (ARESTIPOWER) and he recommended enabling the power assist. I already tried it and it keeps the incoming AC power low! It is a good solution. Thank you

Ahh super!

I should have thought to suggest that first!

For some reason your system is in Passthru mode - please read ESS FAQ #4 for info on how to correct this.

Hello! My system is not ESS. It is a AC coupled system using the AC input with the help of the GENERATOR START STOP settings. The CCGX triggers a relay that connects the grid on the AC input with an external realy. All the parameters described on the FAQ #4 do not apply to my system. What else can it be?

Why aren't you using an ESS system?

Because my system is practically an off grid system. Connecting to the AC is very rear and only if triggered by low voltage, soc or overload parameters on the Generator conditions. It is not recommended by your posts to use the ESS.

The only parameter I found that could be causing the trouble is the LOS. It is configured to TYPE B (SAFE). On the other hand disabling it could cause issues.
