I am fully aware of the need for a Sure Start/Soft Start when the Powerwalls are isolated from the grid and powering my home for starting certain high current devices.
My question for this thread is this scenario:
My PW's are full and any solar is going to the utility, house being fed from PW and Solar. Or I am in peak time using Cost Savings mode and all my energy is being supplied from the Powerwalls. In both cases I still have an active grid.
If I have a device that exceeds the starting current of the PWs will the system get sufficient current from the grid or will my devices fail because the PWs are trying to supply the energy solely and they cannot handle that much current?
I am curious because I have a well pump that suddenly seems to not work intermittently but I have not been able yet to determine all the scenarios that it works or does not start in. It does not have a Soft Start on it but up until now did not seem to be an issue.
Heck it may be that the well supplying the water has run dry, or I have a bad starting capacitor, bad pump etc.
Just trying to understand the possibilities here to eliminate various things.
