Minimal load for ECO on Pure sinewave inverters (Phoenix)

Hello

Regarding the ECO mode on the “pure sinewave inverters” (also called Phoenix), 12V, 250 or 375 or 500W:

  • Which is the necessary minimal power consumption of the load which the inverter needs to switch the power on?

The documentation says that 15W are the default, but also that it can be configured in the app - but not how much is the minimum.

I would also be interested in knowing how well ECO detects capacitive loads like neon tubes?

Thanks!

… and the supplemental question would be: As every modern LED-light bulb and every smartphone charger consumes less than 15W, the ECO mode would not detect them. So what would be the use of this mode?

OK, no answer here, as usual. In the meantime I got an answer from the local dealer of Victron (as Victron itself doesn’t answer questions of private customers).

==> The minimal load which can be detected by the ECO mode is 15W.

This makes the ECO function useless to me as most of my loads (like LED bulbs or mobile phone chargers) need much less than 15W.
