10.1. Input current-limiter setting
This chapter explains the implications of enabling or disabling user control of the input current-limiter setting, as seen in the above
menu (Device List → [your inverter/charger].
The limit as set by the user in the Color Control GX will be applied to all inputs where the 'Overruled by remote' setting in
VEConfigure is enabled:
Using the example of a boat with two AC inputs and a Quattro where:
1. A Genset capable of delivering 50A is connected to input 1;
2. Shore power is connected to input 2 (available power depends on the rating of the harbour power-supply).
Configure the system exactly as in above VEConfigure screenshot. Input 1 has priority over input 2, therefore the system will
automatically connect to the genset whenever it is running. The fixed input current limit of 50A will be applied. And when the
genset is not available, and mains is available on input 2, the Quattro will use the input current limit as configured in the CCGX.
Two more examples: (In both cases, if you disable 'Overruled by remote', setting a current limit in the CCGX will have no effect.
And if you enable 'Overrule by remote' for both inputs, the current limit set in the CCGX will be applied to both inputs.)
Minimum input current limit values
When PowerAssist is enabled in VEConfigure, there is a minimum input current limit. The actual limit differs for each model. After
setting the input current to a value below the limit, it will automatically be increased again to the limit.
Note that it is still possible to set the input current limit to 0. When set to 0, the system will be in passthrough (charger disabled).
Parallel and three-phase systems
The configured AC input current limit is the total limit per phase.
