Watching this Video I have questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNmKolaiBh4 magnum inver video. We are hooked up to a 50 amp breaker off the master house braker box. question how much...

The amperage setting on the remote controls how much current is available to share between the Magnum charger and other loads on that circuit.
If you are parked somewhere and only have a 15a receptacle to plug into, you can set the remote to 15a to avoid overloading the circuit.
If you are on a 50 amp circuit, you can set the remote to 50 amp. If you're on a 30 amp, set it to 30. If you're parked at someone's house and plugged into a 15 amp outlet, set it to 15.
What it does, lets say this example:
Your batteries are low, so the charger is running at full output, 125 amps DC. It needs about 16 amps AC to generate that. If you're at a house with only 15 amps available, it will scale back the charging to not blow the circuit. Then you turn on the coffee maker and that takes 8 amps. The Magnum will subtract 8 from 15 and limit itself to using only 7 amps.
If you're on a 50 amp circuit, and you turn on the AC taking 15 amps, the hot water heater taking another 15 amps and a hair dryer taking another 13 amps, the magnum will do 50-43 and limit itself to only 7 amps for the charger.
That "charge rate" feature is new, I'm kind of jealous.
