Can you run the Home Integation System and Pro Power onboard at the same time?

[Lightning_Bob]

Can you feed the house with the HIS at 10kw and run 7.2kw from the 220v outlet on the Pro Power Onboard at the same time?

or in other words (Thanks Amp):
Can I take ≤19.2 kW from the high voltage battery simultaneously using Pro Power Onboard and Home Backup Power?

Curious why you would use those outlets and not any of the ones permanently installed in your home?

I think it is possible on principal as long as Ford has not blocked it in software. The juice would flow out of the battery to the HVJB and then to the components that need it - inverters for pro power, HVAC, or back out the DC pins to the home inverter. Even running all of these at 100% all at once is a paltry load for the HV battery compared to driving down the road.

since the DC output is controlled by the external equipment, the Truck's internal inverters should be able to continue outputting just as they would otherwise... I would assume.. they're just all drawing from the same battery, at the same time. The truck, itself, will monitor the output and will reset if too much combined amperage is being used.

Interesting.

you're not going to take more than 9.6kw from the battery no matter which method you use...

Yes, that is a different way of asking the question

Hypothetical:

- A house that normally uses less than 9.6kw can surge higher than that in the event the Central AC and Well Pump were to come on at the same time --May be better to have two transfer switches/circuits - one for the HIS (automatic) for the AC, fridge, lights, some outlets and another one (manual) for the pro power onboard to feed the Well Pump, microwave and some other outlets

Please explain. Thanks.

According to the conversation I had with an engineer from Sunrun, it’s possible…

Well, if a SunRun engineer said it’s possible, that should pretty much settle that it’s not possible

Why would this be the case? That's substantially lower than the average draw of the motors when you're driving on the highway...

Because the DC current from the battery has to go through an inverter which has limited capacity. The truck's onboard inverters can only do 9.6 KW combined, and the integration system can only do 9.6 kW for off-grid operation.

People here who know more about the HIS have stated that it has its own inverters separate from those in the truck and receives DC power from the truck.

Either way, the statement was that you can't draw more than 9.6kw from the battery, which is different than the total available inverter capacity.

You are correct. My apologies - the original question you asked got buried and I was responding to your individual comment of the difference between power draw in traction use vs. other mechanisms.

You'll be happy to know that the truck allows for pro power onboard use today while DCFC charging today, which would eliminate any hardware issues of using pro power when the battery is connected to the DC terminals. So if it can't, it's because it's a software choice.
