Load
Full name Enable Inverter Load Start and Stop Triggers
Purpose The “Load” trigger enables or disables the Start on Inverter Load Current
and Stop on Inverter Load Current functionality of the Xantrex XW AGS.
This function enables the generator to start and stop based on the
current being drawn on the inverter by the loads. See “Start Load” and
“Stop Load” on page 3–22.
Dependencies The “Load” trigger requires the Xantrex XW AGS to be in Automatic
mode and needs parameters to be set for both the “Start Load” and
“Stop Load” triggers.
Start Load
Full name Start on Inverter Load Current
Purpose The “Start Load” trigger enables the generator to start at a specified AC
load (current draw) on the inverter. This current draw must be present for
5 minutes before the generator will start. The generator will assist the
inverter with powering the AC load.
Dependencies The “Start Load” trigger requires the Xantrex XW AGS to be in Automatic
mode and the “Load” trigger to be set to ON. It also needs to have a
stopping value set in the “Stop Load” trigger.
Considerations Change this setting if there are certain “peak” times of power usage or if
power demands consistently exceed the output of the inverter.
If “Load” is set to [Enabled], the generator will start in response to the
“Start Load” setting unless the Xantrex XW AGS is in a Quiet Time period.
The inverter load current can be monitored on the System screen.
