What exactly is the meaning of "Max Continuous AC passthrough?"
Good day all,
As per the title, can anyone explain the exact meaning of "Max Continuous AC passthrough" on the Sunsynk inverter specifications (in Amps)?
What exactly does this mean?
Any practical examples?

Just stumbled onto some Q&A for the product page where I bought my inverter: https://www.solar-shop.co.za/sunsynk-deye-hybrid-inverters/406-sunsynk-5kw-hybrid-inverter.html
The person asking is presumably talking about the LOAD output circuit. Q: what happens if power demand is greater than 5KW, say 8KW. Can it pull the extra 3KW from the grid?
A: it will operate normally up to 5000W. Then up to 5500W for half an hour. Between 5.5kW and 8kW it will switch over to pass through and use only electricity. Above 8kW it will shut down completely.
So the shop selling the inverter seems to suggest it's a full bypass switch once over 5.5kw. From my understanding of the circuit diagram, I'd hoped that, with it being AC coupled, given an 8kW load on the LOAD circuit, it would push 5kW and let an extra 3kW be pulled from grid?
@Keith Gough, is Solar Shop's answer/interpretation is correct? Does the SunSynk 5k model use a full bypass over 5.5kW load to supply the 35A pass-through?
