Hello all,
Our system consists of a Quattro 24/3000/70 and two Skylla-i 24/100 chargers, all connected to a Cerbo GX (VE.Bus for the Quattro and VE.Can for the Skylla-i units).
Quattro and the Skylla chargers have the PowerControl function, which limits the input current to prevent tripping the AC source—whether it’s a generator or shore power.
I have a few questions:
- Is the Cerbo GX capable of automatically and simultaneously managing the input current limits of all three devices?
- Or will I need to manually adjust the current limit for each device?
The generator supplies around 36A, and the shore 32A. With the two Skylla-i units and the Quattro at full charge operation (270A @ 28.8V), we’re close to the input full capacity. If any AC load—like a microwave—is turned on, it could exceed the generator’s limit.
The idea is to use the PowerControl function to limit the input current of the Quattro and Skylla-i units. Ideally, the devices would automatically reduce their current draw when an AC load is activated and increase it again when the load is turned off.
My main concern is whether the Cerbo GX can automatically manage both the Quattro and the Skylla-i units, or if the user must manually adjust the input current limits.
In the manuals, I can find descriptions of the PowerControl function for each device, but I haven’t found any information about how the system behaves when different devices (1x Quattro + 2x Skylla-i) with the same function are connected to a Cerbo GX.
Thank you,
Marco
