I was looking at the small panel displays on my two 4000 watt inverters to see what the amps read. With no visible load the displays were reading 0 to 1 amp. I turned on several lights and the display read 1 to 2 amps. When I looked at my Progressive Industries EMS it said 3 amps on one leg and 7 on the other. Is that difference the current that the inverters themselves are using? Are my readings normal? I am pretty sure I was in "Charge" mode.
