Gen Support Settings
GEN Support allows power to be automatically drawn from the batteries to assist
an AC generator to support heavy loads (that is, loads that exceed the available
current from the generator).
Generators have a limited output current and it is possible to reach this limit when
operating heavy loads. The Conext SW is designed to assist the generator when
heavy current demands load down the generator by supplying additional power
from the batteries.
In addition, the battery charger can reduce its charging current to the batteries
so the combined charge AC current and total load current does not exceed the
capacity of the generator or trip its output breakers or fuses.
The Conext SW supports the generator when the AC load current drawn from the
generator exceeds the GenSup Amps setting for one to two seconds.
The system can enter this state if the battery voltage is above Low Battery
CutOut (LBCO) plus 1 volt and generator support is enabled.
NOTE: Running and start-up (peak) currents are limited to the maximum current
limits of the inverter.
