EG4 6000Xp. Load sharing? Using grid and batteries?

akitawpo said:

Hello,

I had an instance where the grid was connected, and a high surge happened. The inverter changed to "pass through" until the high demand finished. After a couple of minutes, it transitioned back to "off grid". "Passthrough" limit is 9000watts. I did not see sharing but the inverter changed to grid seamlessly, I did not even see lights flickering. This happened while having my air fryer and microwave on the same 120v leg which went above 3000 watts continues draw.

Thanks for your insight. So that does answer most of one of the questions. An electric dryer that is over 6000 watts would default to pass through?

Up until today I have never seen a load using grid and battery. This happened right after quick charge reached terminal voltage.
Is this right? Anything to be concerned with? Possibility of back feeding?

Theoretically could I somehow use 3000 watts from battery and 4000 watts from grid and run my clothes dryer??
How would I?
or Why is this a terrible idea?

The 6000XP does have the capability to grid assist, however, the nominal output would still be 6000w or 3000w per leg. The inverter can surge higher that for 12,000W for ≈3.5 seconds | 11,000W for ≈5 seconds.

be able to sustain >6000w loads using the grid to make up the difference

Where are you seeing a pass through limit of 9000 watts? It should be 50amps/12000 watts as far as I know…
