Dc power flow reversal on Cerbo interface when inverter on

Hi, I have noticed DC power on cerbo screen indicates power flowing into the battery when the inverter is on.
Inverter is a Victron multi plus 2.
I have checked Victron smart shunt is wired correctly.
I have multi plus earthed to negative bus bar and bus bar earthed to chassis. Removing earths does not alter anything on screen.
I am out of ideas as to the cause.

Dc power or battery power?
Can you post a screenshot?

It’s labelled DC power, I presume what it’s feeding into is the battery (not labelled).


I would switch off the tile (if you enabled has dc system) since you don’t actually have DC loads.
Ideally you would have a shunt to measure the load if you did. But in your system the shunt is for SOC of your battery?

Thanks, I will turn off the DC loads tile. Have you any idea why this shows on the interface in this way?
Are my12v/24v loads not classed as DC loads in this case?

I think I understand, the shunt is measuring SOC , so is the load estimated through other means.

Yes basically if it sees a discharge but it is not measured on the ac side the missing consumption is assumed as the dc load. But really is is self consumption and other conversion losses.
