Max fuse rating for 3rd party digital switching devices

Hey,

we have 2 Safiery Star Power Digital Switching Systems installed in our newest RV. They are rated for up to 35A on each of the first 6 channels. But in the device list on GX Touch the max fuse rating possible is 6A. I’ve got some devices that draw more than 6A which shouldn’t be a problem for the StarPower, but the victron software „blows" the fuse at 6A, even though in Safierys own software the max fuse rating is set to 35A.

Is it possible to increase the 6A cap in the victron software?

This is a screen only. Are you referring to the Ekrano? Or the GX with a screen? I can imagine it would appear on the switches pane. But that is display and interaction.

You are going to have to clarify what specs and which device you are referring to and why you think the software from the victron side will blow the fuse?

The safiery should work independently but maybe have communications with the victron kitt through CAN possibly. I cant see how something from the victron side would blow a fuse on a different device.

Also a fuse usually blows because current has been exceeded.

[Edited] assume you mean this then?

Yeah that’s the product I’m using. Connected using CAN to a Cerbo GX. The maximum fuse rating possible on the Cerbo in device list is 6A and it seems to overide any settings done on the Safiery StarPower device itself. The StarPower doesn’t have physical fuses but uses SSRs to disconnect the circuit in case of overcurrent.

I have the same issue where the Cerbo shows a maximum 6amp upper setting vs the 35amp / 10amp capability and set points that can be configured via the starpower ap.

The Cerbo settings don’t appear to do anything as I have multiple devices that exceed 6amp power draw. So it looks like some poor coding in the Victron - Starpower interface.

i also have to name the channels on the cerbo interface as well as the Starpower interface The settings made in the starpower ap don’t appear on the cerbo Configuration on the cerbo is necessary for the channel names to make sense when switching via the VRM interface

Has anyone found a solution to this annoyance

I am running the latest Venus OS and starpower firmware
