The ‘Current limit overruled by remote’ setting in the VictronConnect app allows for external control over the AC1 input current limit of your MultiPlus inverter/charger. Here’s how it works and when you might use it:
Functionality:
-
When this option is enabled, the AC1 input current limit setting on your inverter/charger can be adjusted remotely, bypassing the limit set directly on the device.
-
This adjustment is typically done through a GX Device, which is part of Victron’s energy management system, or a Digital Multi Control panel.
Use Cases:
-
Stationary Applications: For fixed installations where the AC input source is consistent and the required current limit does not change, such as a home connected to the grid, it’s common to leave this option disabled. The input current limit would be set once during the system setup and would not need adjusting.
-
Mobile Applications: In scenarios where the MultiPlus is used in mobile applications, like boats or vehicles, you would enable this option. This flexibility allows the system user to adjust the current limit to match the available shore power connection, which can vary from one location to another.
Generator Inputs:
For inputs connected to a generator, you would typically also leave this unchecked. Generators have a fixed capacity, and the inverter/charger’s current limit would be set according to the generator’s maximum output during installation.
In summary, enabling ‘Current limit overruled by remote’ gives you or another device the flexibility to adjust the input current limit as needed, which can be particularly useful when the power source varies or when dynamic control of the system is required.
