I have a outback VFX-3648 inverter and notice this morning while it was on grid power ,the mate display showed inverter power of a 100 watts momentary under heavy house loads not sure what the house load was I'm sure it was over 2000 watts , normaly when on grid power the inverter displays 0 watts load for inverter, then under that mate displays house a.c loads in kilowatts,then under that bying kilowatts ,I never noticed this before ,I'm wondering if in the inverter programming for a.c. Grid imput settings if my setting is too low then the inverter kicks in to make up the difference when I exceed the load setting . Even when the inverter is off.
