High Power Usage of SHP10 & Titan During Power Outage

During the beta testing of the SHP10 and Titan Plus, testers are asked to perform certain scenarios that would be applicable for our situations. One of those scenarios is High-Power Appliance Usage During Outage.

The circuits set up on the SHP includes a mini split, fridge (which happens to include the microwave outlet), two pellet stoves and lights. I'm not generally a heavy electric user, so unfortunately can't even get near the limits that the Titan is rated for (kind of wish I'd had the dryer circuit hooked up just for this test - LOL).

I simulated an outage by flipping my main breaker. Because pellet stoves are fairly low draw, I turned on both heads of my 2-ton mini split for heat (which, was set as non-priority so I had to tell the app to turn it on), and set the thermostat for 4* higher than the room temp was at. I held my fridge door open until it started up, turned on every light and ran my microwave (1,500w draw) for 5 minutes.

The system didn't break a sweat running everything. Unfortunately I did not think to get screen shots of the max power that was being output. It was not nearly to the Titan's ability, but what is considered very high usage for me.

The Titan has plenty of power to handle high wattage use during a power outage, although one must be mindful of how that affects the capacity/longevity ratio.
