Inverter settings

[johnnyreno]

After storage when you lower your amps on your inverters to say 15 amps what do you reset them to 30 and 50 and in what order do you prefer inverter 1 and inv 2 to be at so its safe to plug back in to a 50 amp safely .thx

Reset to 30 amps coming out of storage per Entegra CS. I didn't knowingly make changes to the order, so not sure about that one.

I had each set for 5 amps max while stored. We went to a rally last weekend and I plugged into 50 amp service, forgetting to reset settings. Everything worked fine-all three airs, etc. Is this normal?

Yes. All you are changing is the power share function of the inverter/charger, EG, depending on the inverter, setting it to a lower level (lets say 15), this tells the charger function of the inverter charger that you are plugged into a 15 amp service and to only allow a certain portion of the incoming 15 amps to be available for charging. Even if you are plugged into 50 amp service, the charger will only operate at reduced level because you told it it was plugged into 15 amp service. It will have no affect on the ability to run multiple AC's, microwaves etc as the inverter is only passing the 120 volts THROUGH the inverter's transfer switch when you are hooked up to shore power. Really nothing bad can happen having it set to a lower level other than your batteries taking longer to charge from a depleted condition.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. I'm always plugged in when in storage so I guess I won't even worry about it as my batteries always stay topped off.

D, I was told by customer service once the house batteries are topped off then they start working on the start batts.
