Multiplus restarts very often

Hi

I have a 12/3000 multiplus with ccgx and ve.bus bms.

The multiplus restarts every 6-8min as it is right now and logs the input AC to be down to 110V quite often (230V in the grid). But the multimeter says constant 230V in the grid when the multiplus shuts down....

It is very cold here right now if that can have anything to do with it, and the ac load on the multiplus is maximum 1800W...heating a boat

Have you configured weak ac on and set the input current limiter correctly?

Hi yes, the low voltage to 180 and current to 16 (managed by bms, can't change in ccgx)

If I have low temp protection on the batteries (I dont know if I have), would the battery/bms turn off the multiplus completely or just the charging and passthrough grid power to the boat?

Will turn off the charging. Pass through should be unaffected.

Maybe check your shore power connections, galvanic isolator. Might be a transient shore power issue, might be the multi.

Maybe the battery has been supplementing shore when it's weak and now it's too cold/battery off so can't. Too many maybes

The galvanic isolator is near its power limit of 2000W, do the Victron Isolation Transformers automatically restart after an overload shutdown?? The manual says it is just shuts down...

Don't know, sorry. But I'd go with what the manual says.
