Disable generator ac output priority on Multiplus

Is there a way of preventing ac through put from genset while charging using the Multiplus?

In other Words, still use inverter 230v ac whilst charging with the gen set.

The reason for this is to avoid flickering on the power coming from my Hyundai diesel gen set.

May be with programming assistants, to set the charging and avoid switching in AC2OUT

Hi @Jgy67

The Multi uses the same circuitry to both invert and charge, so it's impossible to do both at the same time.

I just posted this link for someone else, but you may find something in it too. Maybe even test the WeakAC setting, which fools with the sine wave/power factor.

If you have sensitive led lights on a dimmer or something, then there mightn't be much you can do.
