2.3.7.3 PowerControl – Dealing with limited generator or shore side power
The Multi is a very powerful battery charger. It will therefore draw a lot of current from the
generator or shore side supply (nearly 10 A per Multi at 230 VAC). With the Phoenix Multi
Control Panel a maximum generator or shore current can be set. The Multi will then take
account of other AC loads and use whatever is extra for charging, thus preventing the
generator or shore supply from being overloaded.
It is also possible to set the max. generator/ shore current internally.
The generator/ shore current can be set at 2 - 16A (optional 4 – 30A).
