I recently had a Kodak 6.2 with Revov 11.2Kwh Batteries installed. I am situated in a rural area and have an Eskom supply capped at 20Amp. My priority is set to SUB. Due to extended load shedding etc the priority setting of SBU is not feasible. This means that whenever the load is more than the solar can provide, (or at night), the balance is picked up by the eskom supply. If this load drawn from eskom exceeds the 20 Amp, eskom trips (inside the prepaid meter) This only occurs on peak draws - and with enough continuous trips eskom will shut down for an hour. So the question is, is there a setting that can limit the load drawn from utility (not the charge rate)? I have the charge rate from utility already down to 10 Amps. In other words, Max comes from the Solar, Utility provides upto a certain Amp, and if needs be then the battery will pick up the balance.

I'm not actually sure if you can limit draw from utility

This would be a handy setting to have, e.g. for people on SWER lines (perhaps you are one of them). Unfortunately, I'm not aware of such a setting. It would be good to be able to set the maximum charge current to a high value, and have the inverter automatically cut back the utility charge current to stay under the limit (the only thing it can control to reduce utility current draw, apart from dropping the entire AC load). In your case, you'd probably rather lose all your loads than to risk losing power for an hour. Those hours between each load shedding must be precious!

All I can suggest is some sort of external box that cuts off the utility connection above a certain current. it would act like a really fast acting breaker, with a very sharp cut-off. I imagine it would have to be an electronic device to be able to act fast enough at just over the limit, or possibly a little below the limit for a margin of safety.

I would rather figure out how to best manage my large loads, a couple smart breakers would help

A digital current/voltage breaker would do that, and you can set your own variable limits for those . It exists and rather cheap <15$ but I'm not sure in your country. 

This solution though cuts the whole grid supply as in any breaker and can autorestart on a timer. If you are looking for something like a current limiter to say limit only at 5Amps current draw and take the test from batter or pv that's a different story. Not sure it's available commercially but can be customized I'm sure.
