I have two quattro’s in parallel with power assist checked and without weak AC checked. I have set the shore limit to 32 A, but when I connect to shore I only get 30A. The incoming voltage is quite stable arrond 225v and never drops below 220v.
What could be the reason I don’t get the full 32A? The socket on shore is a 3phase 63A and there is an adaptor so that I draw only from one phase.
Thanks for the help
Any ideas for some help? I would really appreciate. Thanks
That is the donnot exceed amps the real amps veries with the quattro type and the wave form of the shore power
Is there a way to increase the input to 32? Say by increasing the limit from 32 to something else?
Yes you can but there is few amps hysteresis that can cause the amps to go over the 32 amps
So not a very good idea. I will settle with 30 amps and that’s it. Thanks
I am trying to change the current limit from 32 to 16A through VRM but it seems that the system doesn’t accept it for some reason. I select 16A but it turns it to 20.6A. Is there a reason? Am I doing something wrong?
Check through VE Configure if overruled by remote is checked on the quattros. If you want to change the setting on another device, it must be enabled.
Yes, that has been checked. The strange thing is that it changes the limit, but not to 16A. It changes it to 20.6A
After some research I realize that there is a floor to input current limit for the 24/8000 Quattro at 10.3A when power assist is activated. Therefore two quattro’s in parallel the floor becomes 20.6A. This is nowhere mentioned in any official Victron document to me read before buying the product. Not in the manual anyway. For me it is absolutely crucial to be able to limit the current to 16A and have power assist enabled at the same time and if I knew that this is not possible I simply wouldn’t buy the product (along with a raft of other Victron products to complement the system). It is unfortunate that only know I realize that I would have been better off with Mastervolt. In my mind this is a scam.
Huge waste of money, time and effort. I now have to take everything out, damp all the Victron stuff and install a Mastervolt system from the beginning. What a nightmare.
