The blinking ‘mains on’ LED in PowerControl mode on your MultiPlus-II 230V is an important function indicator.
Here’s what it means:
-
PowerControl Mode: This mode helps manage the inverter/charger’s interaction with limited AC input sources, like a weak grid or a small generator.
-
AC Input and Output: When in PowerControl mode, the AC input is passed through to the charger and the connected loads. However, the total AC output current is limited to the preset maximum input current that you’ve set.
-
Charge Current Management: Interestingly, in this mode, the charger will reduce its charging current to zero Amps (0A) if needed. This is done to ensure that the total current does not exceed the preset limit, especially when the load on the AC output increases.
-
Why It Matters: The blinking LED alerts you that the inverter/charger is actively managing the power to avoid overloading the AC input source. It’s ensuring that the power drawn does not exceed what your grid or generator can handle.
-
Real-World Impact: This is particularly useful in scenarios where your AC source can’t provide enough current for both charging the batteries and powering the connected loads. The PowerControl feature prioritizes the loads, ensuring uninterrupted power supply, while temporarily halting battery charging to maintain balance.
In summary, the blinking ‘mains on’ LED in PowerControl mode is a sign that your MultiPlus-II is smartly managing the power to prevent AC input overload, ensuring efficient operation of your system without tripping your power source.
