I have some issue on power indicators in my Multiplus-ii Gx
My system:
No break loads =0W, Loads=0W
When i ask the remote console I get:
The Grid Find-in is arround Twice the PV Power and the Grid value on the Gx LCD is arround -600W
I assume the Grid value on the LCD is the ACin1 measurement
So why there is Power that is feed from the Gx ?
Hi @michelP
You've configured the PV inverter on the input, but you have to configure it on the output in the settings.
everything 'behind' the current sensor is measured as on the output of the Multi.
Hi @Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff)
To be shure on my understanding I need to move my PV to the ACout (only in the software) there are still connected to the AC_in
Does this apply also for the loads ?
I have move the PV to output and it's ok
But for the lood that are on mains this is'nt good
Does this rule also for the loads ?

Hi @michelP
Please read the ESS manual first:
https://www.victronenergy.com/live/ess:design-installation-manual
Also: your system is in pass-thru, is that intentional or is something wrong?
Hi @Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff)
I have reading again the ESS manual in summary regarding my main issue :
In my system I hope measuring the Grid by the current sensor on it this is not the case ?
Hi @michelP
In my experience, power measurement by just the Multi's / Quattro's is accurate enough for most purposes.
a grid meter is more accurate, but most systems don't need the greater accuracy.
Hi @Daniël Boekel (Victron Energy Staff)
Hi have'nt an accuracy issue , I assume the Multi is OK for measurements, my issue is related to the graphical datas provided by the console interface
When I an in the PV conected on ACin
When I connect the PV on the ACout
There is no electrical change between the two cases my PV is always Grid connected and the Grid power is measured by the External current sensor
In the first case the data shown by the interface is'nt the good one , when i read the grid value on the LCD of my Multiplus-ii Gx the value is the good one on both cases

When I an in the PV conected on ACin The Grid seems to export twice the power of the power produced by the PV
That's normal, as the system counts double due to position of the external current sensor
When I connect the PV on the ACout the Grid power is equal to the PV power
It should be, if you don't have any loads on the system. or...wait...power -use-? (positive) could it be you have the current sensor backwards on the cable?
I don't understand why the system count double on remoteConsole and not on the Multigrid LCD
I don't understand why the system count double as the current go througth the sensor only one time
I dont have load and my sensor is'nt backward connected so positive PV power became negative on the Grid.
All my comments refers to the firt screen shoot.
