I have a 3.5KVA generator, but when I try and charge the batteries (through the GRID, using a change-over switch which I used before installing solar), the inverter pulls too much power and the generator cuts out. I have a 5KW Sunsynk inverter. The inverter shows power coming from the Grid, but 20seconds later, the generator cuts out. Which settings do I need to change? I do not mind changing it back after I am done charging with the generator This is the first time in the year that I have had the Sunsynk that I ran out of battery and needed to top it up.

Thanks so much. Non-essentials do not pass through the inverter - So, even if the inverter shows AC load is 7KW, this is actually misleading as some of the 7KW is non-essential and not running through the inverter? I know some of the 7KW was the electric oven. I am considering adding another 5KW battery and adding the rest of the lines/plugs to the essentials except for the solar geysers and aircons as I am generating a lot more energy with the solar panels than I can use during the day. The stove is gas, but not the oven and will be added to the essentials. 1. Grid is up - Essentials exceed 5.5KW or actually over 7KW, then inverter will trip. 2. Grid is down - Essentials exceed 5.5KW or actually over 7KW, then inverter will trip. Is is OK if the inverter trips? Does it cause any damage or do I just reset it and continue on?

Hi, It does not seem like this question above was answered in this thread. I have the same question, a bit more simplified though. 5.5 Sunsynk Inverter. 5kw Freedom Won Battery What will happen in the following situations: 1. Grid is up - Essentials plus non-essentials shows AC Load is 7KW? Exceeds 5.5KW. 2. Grid is up - Non Essentials exceeds 5.5kw? 3. Grid is down - Non-Essentials exceeds 5.5KW?
