My rig has a WFCO 68100 converter - 100amps. PD maxes out at 80amps.
If I put in an 80amp converter, I assume that in the rare case that I'm drawing 100amps the converter won't keep up and the batteries will discharge.
Would that damage anything? Like will the converter "blow a gasket" or something?
With a Progressive Dynamics if you draw more than it can produce it will simply throttle (reduce voltage till it is only putting out the rated 80 amps or about (might be 78 or 82) No damage
Batteries will discharge as long as they can then you loose voltage.
Years ago there was a device (Suspect there still is) called a power line conditioner... It was EXPENSIVE.. We RVers can make one for less.. I will block diagram it
Power source (mains)----Converter---Battery---Pure Sine Inverter--OUT
Yup, tha's all it was
I have both a 9180 with wizard (Converter) Bunch of battery and Prosine 2.0 (True sine wave, 2000 watt) and have, on occasion, done that to provide proper power to the microwave/tv/computrs etc.
