There are defiantly a lot of factors to consider in which will shut down first. The make and size of the inverter and batteries, if it’s during the day if solar is available to keep the load up. The general rule is if the system is 5kw with correctly sized battery then load shedder will do the job very consistently every time and shut down the devices.
A good example is.
1. If the Toaster, kettle and the geyser is running when load shedding happens your inverter will drop the load before as it was probably in bypass already due to overload.
2. If the Toaster, kettle are running and the geyser is on but the water is hot and the element is not running then no problem the load shedder will shut it down with time to spare.
You can also run different configurations for different times of the day or night.
Easiest way to explain it is that as long as the inverter can keep the load up for 2 seconds then the load shedder will work ever time.
