yes, thats what i'm talking about
limit charge and allow "POWER PASS THRU"
if your on a 30a shore pedestal trying to charge at 100 amps, the charger will be using approx 1700w or 18+ amps leaving only 12amps available for the RV 120v circuits,
IF you tried that on a 15amp duplex at home or somewhere else, it would trip the 15 amp CB for the circuit
for the that generator you are OK at the full 100amp available, unless you want to use MW or A/C at the same time
even then, it should work, because 2GC's are NOT going to accept 100amps for more than a few seconds
even when very low 50-60 will be more likely for starting charge, and taper down from there
to make them take 100 amps you would have to increase the charging voltage beyond recommended safe level
60% would be a good avg setting
but IF you want to charge at home from the garage, I suggest you use a lower setting IF any other power might be needed, like the fridge, or A/C
