AC Meters
AC voltage output either inverting or passing through from grid/ generator.
Load Amps meter displays the total AC current delivered to the loads on the inverter’s AC output terminals. A positive (+) Load Amps value indicates power is being pulled from the inverter to run an AC load—either using the batteries in Inverter mode, or from the AC input source in Standby mode.
Input Amps meter displays the total AC amps being used by the inverter for charging and for any load connected to the output of the inverter.
Inv/Chg Amps menu displays the inverter or charger amps and is shown as an AC value. A negative (–) amps reading indicates the inverter is powering the inverter loads, and the batteries are discharging (inverter amps). A positive (+) amps reading indicates the inverter is using the AC input source to charge the batteries (charger amps).
That's impressive list for your ARC50 - must be newer software than mine. I get no AC information at all. AC load volts and amps is available if I buy the generator expansion module, but none of that finer grained inverter info is even an option.
I do get DC load information, for example the microwave is typical 200 amps.
Possible all the extra features because of the hybrid inverter?
