I have 2 6000XP in parallel. The event log shows 1 of them logged a EPS overload this morning. BUT, it was on GRID power (AC First) at the time. What?

well.... did you have more than 6000watt load on either L1, or L2 ? remember you are running split phase....

maybe a couple compressors on the same Line, or a wellpump running, and then an air conditioner + toaster + coffeemaker all hitting the same line ?

On the 6000XP, it is not balanced between legs ... each leg is limited to 3000 Watts.

L1=3000 Watt Max

L2=3000 Watt Max

6000 Watt total between L1/L2

I balanced my load panel the best as possible ... ensure well pump isn't on same leg as other large loads (washer/microwave).

I do have a soft-start well pump which seems to help.

@ericw As mentioned by dtbaker61 and yooperjay, it's possible that your loads are exceeding 6000W, or that the load panel is not properly balanced between Leg 1 and Leg 2. I would recommend reviewing your system data to verify whether the inverter exceeded 6000W during operation. You may also contact our support team for further assistance.

@eg4eric I have TWO inverters in parallel, shouldn't the limit be 6000 per phase ?

@eg4eric I was on GRID power (AC First setting).  Manual says AC BYPASS is 50A.
