VictronConnect "switch to grid" timer - software glitch?

NoHi

I tried to work it out somehow but no matter what I set up its switching to grid after 15 maybe 20sec.

I need it set something between 2-5mins.

Changing loads etc no makes any difference.

15sec, top 30 and switched.


It's under multiplus 48/3000

Check out please.


Cheers.

Really appreciate it i want to keep generator running without load for couple of mins to warm up before it 'hits' full load on it.
I've paid over 2k for generator and don't want to brake it after few weeks.


Thank you,

I've tried to work it out somehow by setting 'Connect when load is higher than' option but does not work either.

Sorry for the late response. I checked the setting and the delayed switch works perfectly.

Have you been able to make it work as expected in the meanwhile? If not, please share your settings files and I will take a look.

Bump Bump bump


Both problems still occurs for Old Multiplus and new Multiplus II / VictronConnect and newest FV 490

Timers does not work for me and same as option:

'AC INPUT CONNECT BASED ON LOAD'

Looks like Load must be SET UP for minimum 800W for both Inverters.

Delay does not work for me at all.


Over all its makes me sad big time because any day and any time due these settings hard load start on generator can kill it.

Once i start generator i need extra 8amps on both lines so 16amps straight on.

I paid over 2000 euro for generator and i don't want to kill it in few months time and i need gen back up no matter what.

As i cannot upload file here on forum;

If you could share your settings i ll be more than happy to try and just adapt to my system.

@MagicMike

Aside from the timer issue, '16 amps straight on' a small genset isn't great. But it's not necessary either.. try turning on Dynamic Current Limiter for a soft start. Uses Power Assist to wind it on gently.

I think i tried everything and most of silly settings.

Switch takes 15-25sec.
