Generator Support - Xantrex Freedom SW 230V 815-3524-02 Owner's Manual

Generator Support

GEN Support is basically generator (and also shore power) support
for the Freedom SW 230V that allows power to be automatically
drawn from the batteries to assist an AC generator or shore power to
support heavy loads (for example, loads that exceed the available
current from either a generator or shore power).
Generators and shore power have a limited output current and it is
possible to reach this limit when operating heavy loads. When
heavy current demand from the load is needed, additional power
from the batteries can supply the needed energy.
In addition, the battery charger can reduce its charging current to the
batteries so the combined charge AC current and total load current
do not exceed the capacity of the generator (and shore power) or trip
its output breakers or fuses.

a. Applies to all Freedom SW 230V models.
The Freedom SW 230V supports the generator or shore power when
the AC load current drawn from the generator or shore power
exceeds the GenSup Amps setting for one to two seconds.
The system can enter this state if the battery voltage is above Low
Battery CutOut (LBCO) plus 1 volt and GEN Support is
enabled. GEN Support with a generator can only work when the
Xanbus AGS is installed and detected in the system to control when
to turn on the generator. GEN Support with shore power, however,
does not need the Xanbus AGS.
