Campsite 6 Amp maximum draw

Product Discussion BLUETTI AC Series
1

I have an AC200max and a B300, I have 2 power bricks one to charge each device.

Each power brick delivers 500W max so @ 230V (in europe) = 2.2 amps roughly
So if I plug both in I will pull 2 x 2.2Amps = 4.5Amps max

This is below some campsite 6 Amp max = happy days

Q: If I plug a 2000W kettle into the AC output of the Ac200max, will the current draw through the power bricks increase beyond 4.5Amps ?

I assume you are charging from grid power with the 2 charging bricks. Therefore, their load will max out at what you state the 4.5A. If you then plug your kettle into the 200Ms outlet it will draw roughly 8.5A.
The net result will be that the input from the grid will provide 4.5A of that 8.5 load and the balance from 200Max battery thru the inverter. Once the kettle has boiled the power brick then replaces that small loss.
The AC200Max display will show an input of 1000W and an output of 2000W, the battery provides the difference not the grid.

thanks … internally i can use whatever i like but as long as only the 2 bricks are connected to the grid I can’t trip the campsite supply

cheers … thought the passthru might allow more

To clarify, there is a difference between the AC200Max (and the AC200P I own) and the non power brick models such as the AC200L (AC180 etc).
The non power brick versions have pass through charging and therefore automatic UPS switchover. The power brick versions are not pass through, the AC output is solely provided by the inverter from battery. The power brick only charges the battery at its maximum rate of 500W and they are not UPS.
If you are drawing less than 500W then all the power brick does is maintain the battery at 100%. If you draw more than 500W, the power brick replaces 500W only. When using a 2000W kettle for say 5 minutes, the net deficit of 1500W is then replaced over a short time following the kettle switching off at 500W.
You will not trip the camp grid supply.
