Start Load |
|
|
|
|
Full name | Start on Inverter Load Current |
| ||
Purpose | The “Start Load” trigger enables the generator to start at a specified AC | |||
| load (current draw) on the inverter. This current draw must be present for | |||
| 5 minutes before the generator will start. The generator will assist the | |||
| inverter with powering the AC load. |
| ||
Dependencies | The “Start Load” trigger requires the XW Auto Generator Start to be in | |||
| Automatic mode and the “Load” trigger to be set to ON. It also needs to | |||
| have a stopping value set in the “Stop Load” trigger. | |||
| Values |
|
| Default |
|
|

|
|
| ||
| 10.0 A to 33.0 A (increments of 1A) | 10.0 A | ||
|
|
| ||
Considerations | Change this setting if there are certain “peak” times of power usage or if | |||
| power demands consistently exceed the output of the inverter. | |||
If “Load” is set to [Enabled], the generator will start in response to the “Start Load” setting unless the XW Auto Generator Start is in a Quiet Time period.
The inverter load current can be monitored on the System screen.
If “Start Load” is set too high, the XW Auto Generator Start may not start the generator in time to recharge the batteries before the batteries are drained by the AC load. In addition, if “Start Load” is set too high, the inverter may shut down due to an overload condition.
If “Start Load” is set too low, the XW Auto Generator Start may start the generator too frequently, wasting fuel in the process.
