Peak Shaving Help

[ReaperWorX]

Good day.

I wonder if someone could give me some guidance?

Fox Setup as Backup Only, no solar.

I want to be able to use the peak shaving options, as I want to use stored battery power during peak grid times and only charge batteries during off-peak times.

If I set a start and end time in these settings, will it use grid during the time I set or outside of the time I set?

Also what mode should I be using?

What does those abbreviations even mean?

Thank you kindly.

Phil.

I’m no expert on peak shaving, we don’t (currently) have that functions - but those options are normally what you would call the advanced set - i.e. installer access.

I would have expected there to be a more user friendly way to set them, hopefully there is another user on the forum that uses this and can advise - which inverter is it?, does it support schedules ?

This is from the manual it might help explain the options -

A Peak Shaving limit must be set by adjusting “Import Limit” to the desired value.

We can increase the peak shaving support uptime by setting the “Threshold SOC”.
When the battery is above the “Threshold SOC” the system will work in “Self-Use mode.
When the battery is below the “Threshold SOC” the peak shaving function will be the priority and the system will only provide power from the battery when the “Import Limit” is exceeded.
When below the “Threshold SOC” the system will charge from the grid when there is available power without exceeding the “Import Limit”. This is to ensure prolonged Peak Shaving support for extended periods.
If the “Import Limit” is exceeded constantly for an extended period of time, the peak shaving function can only guarantee successful operation while energy remains within the battery. If the battery designated “low level” is reached, the peak shaving function will cease.

Hey excellent question by @ReaperWorX.

I just recently bought a FOX H3 Pro 10KW Hybrid Inverter with EP11 Lithium Ion Battery.

I have the same concern that I want to use a part of the stored battery power during peak grid times.

The pictures you have attached is the exact thing I'm looking for an answer to. Haven't found any user manual till now which explains the abbreviations.

If anyone here understands them please explain how we can configure it.

Thank you!
