AC Loads and Critical Loads seperate

Q&A and troubleshooting

Hi Victron Community,

I have 6 MultiPlus 2 in a three phase config (2/phase). All with Firmware v501.

On my Cerbo CX with Display I only see AC-Loads but in the app I also see Critical Loads.
My whole house is connected to the critical loads and ESS is installed and configured. Works fine!

But on AC-Out2 I have connected two type 2 chargers for EVs and I can not see their consumption as AC Loads. The Load also appears under Critical Loads.

So I‘ve connected two seperate energy meters VM3P75CT. One is configured as Grid Counter the other as AC Loads Counter. In ESS I set the checkmark for all loads on AC OUT Side.

So I do not understand why its only shown in the app as seperate and why I won‘t see the loads as NON Critical?

Thank you in Advance!

I’m guessing that because AC-out-2 is just a switched version of AC-out-1 internally, those loads are electrically indistinguishable from the Critical Loads on AC-out-1.

The regular AC loads are on the input side when using ESS and a separate grid meter.

Okay so it will work when i connect the non critical to ac in.

I can do so. But then I won‘t be able to charge my evs from the pv or battery.
