This LED combination in PowerAssist mode provides valuable insight into how your MultiPlus-II 230V is operating:
-
PowerAssist Mode Function: PowerAssist is a sophisticated feature that allows your inverter/charger to assist the AC input source when the load demands more current than the input source can provide.
-
AC Input and Load Demand: The ‘mains on’ LED being lit signifies that the AC input is connected and functional. However, if the load requires more current than what your preset maximum input allows, the inverter steps in to supply the additional current needed.
-
Inverter Engagement: The blinking ‘inverter’ LED indicates that the inverter has kicked in to provide this additional power. Essentially, it supplements the AC input with power from the batteries, ensuring that your loads receive the required current without interruption.
-
Balancing Act: This feature is particularly useful when you’re connected to a limited AC source, like a small generator or a weak grid. It prevents overloading the source while ensuring that your power needs are met.
-
Practical Implication: For example, if you’re using a 5kW generator but your load suddenly spikes to 6kW, the MultiPlus-II will provide the extra 1kW by inverting power from the batteries, thus ‘assisting’ your generator.
In summary, the lit ‘mains on’ and blinking ‘inverter’ LEDs in PowerAssist mode mean your MultiPlus-II is actively ensuring that your power needs are met, even when your primary AC source can’t handle the load on its own.
It’s a great feature that enhances the versatility and reliability of your power system, providing seamless power support and preventing potential overloads or power interruptions.
