MultiPlus / Quattro limiting maximum settable AC shore input limit

Has anybody found a way to limit the maximum settable AC input limit?

We are often facing the issue that the user is able to set an AC input limit higher than the input breaker (e.g. if you have 2x Quattro 10kVA and only a 64A AC breaker at the input), leading to overloading the breakers if users don’t follow the written instructions.

We guess this could be fairly easy to implement, problem is that at the moment the GX settings are able to override the maximum levels allowed in VEconfigure. We would like to avoid having to run Venus Large and Node Red for such an easy function.

Any ideas?

When you set the Shore Limit in VEConfigure, disable the ‘Overruled by Remote’ box next to it.

That’s not quite the same as what you’re asking, but if an enduser can’t handle a proper setting there (and accept responsibility for tripping breakers), then it’s probably better to remove the option altogether.

That’s not really an option as the customers definitely need to be able to change the input limit - PowerAssist is often needed at different levels.
