There is always some overhead with an autoformer.
I try to limit my loads to 24 amps--that gives some "breathing room" for the autoformer to work its magic.
On a hot day I've seen the roof air start out at 1200 watts and end up at 1900 watts. If the shore voltage is 100, the autformer would be in use and I'd be drawing about 22 amps. That is about all I can run on 30 amps, if I wish to stay under that 24 amp ceiling. I certainly could not run the water heater on electric (1400 watts), unless I'm willing to use the load support feature of the hybrid inverter.
