Victron Dashboard shows AC-OUT1 and AC-OUT2 as Essential loads

I have a configuration where I use AC-OUT1 (home) and AC-OUT2 (car EV loader).

The dashboard shows one output only:

And I would expect two outputs as the video Venus OS v3.50 - New User Interface, Security and Generator Improvements - Victron Energy suggests:

Do I have to configure this view?

AC out 2 is not metered, it cannot be shown independently. You will need to add a meter as an AC load or use a Victron EVCS which will report its data.

The split load view shows loads in front of the inverter at AC IN and loads on both AC OUTs, it requires a grid meter in the grid role.

Being new to the environment, it might help you to follow the free video training at professional.victronenergy.com.
It will fill in many common gaps.

Thanks. I have watched many video’s (great material by the way). Perhaps I did not memorize this or did not look at the correct video. If you have a specific suggestion, please let me know.

If you look in the back of the inverter manual it has a block diagram of the inverter topology.
Typically you need to dig deeper into the specific manuals for the GX, VRM and inverter to find answer, each tends to contain a piece of the puzzle.

it is not that easy - yes there is only one AC Current Sensor in MP2, but also a DC Sensor, so most Values could be roughly calculated

You are right, you can´t measure a wallbox or something else on AC out 2

But something like this is possible - only difference between these 2 pictures - i connected a 1100W Heat Gun to AC out 2

Again. You have loads at ac in so critical loads will show your heat gun load whether on ac 1 or 2.
The only reason you have two load boxes is because you have an em. The OP does not and with only output loads will see a single combined output.
If he adds an EM at ac out 2 he will have a second dedicated load panel showing just those loads.
Nodered and virtual ev charger is also an option if the charger is accessible online.

There are many users with dc loads, an estimated output using that as a basis would be unhelpful for most users and inaccurate, considering ac 2 is non
Critical.

we don´t know what he has? i can´z image feeding a house and a wallbox through one MP2 - but yes, its possible :slight_smile:

Thanks guys for all the explanations.

I do not have an EM (energy meter?) on AC-OUT2 and I understand MultiplusII does not measure internally.

So I know my options.

All that’s ocnfusing is the title of the load “Essential load“.

that is what is connected to AC Out 1 - still available in a power loss
