Why do I need to adjust my charge rate?
Have you ever tripped a circuit breaker in your house after using too many
electrical appliances at once? This happens when the amount of energy
being pulled from the outlet exceeds what it’s able to give. For example, if
you’re trying to use 20 amps of energy but the outlet can only provide 15
amps, the breaker will trip and the electrical current will be cut off, prevent-
ing a potentially dangerous situation.
When you’re connected to shore power, your Volta System is just like an
appliance. To prevent the shore-power breakers from tripping, it’s important
to ensure that your system’s charge amps are properly adjusted.
The inverter/charger has an adjustable charge rate. You can adjust the
Charge Rate Selection via the touchscreen or the Inverter Control Panel in
5A increments. This allows you to adjust the charge rate to match the shore
power source and to meet your system use requirements. Refer to Inverter
Screen on page 28 or Max Branch Amps (Charger Current Limit)
Setting on page 22 for more information on adjusting the charge rate.
