7 months ago I checked in an update that corrects this issue. I was calculating the nominal leg current (which is what the gauge markings is based upon) incorrectly. Let me know if you have any questions or issues. Thanks for letting me know this issue.
Steps to Reproduce
The new per-leg current display is an excellent feature, thank you! However, during a recent outage, I noticed that calculated current numbers are correct, but the guage display is scaled at about half of what it should be, so that the guages are into the red when the generator is operating at about half-load and pegged when it is close to full load. The power output gauge seems to be scaled reasonably, going into the red at 20KW on the 22KW generator.
Expected Result
L1/L2 Current gauges should have the red zone start at about 90A instead of 45A on a 22KW generator. Assuming a balanced load with unity power factor, 91.7 A per 120V leg would match the generator's capacity of 22KW. Perhaps a larger red zone should be provided to allow for display of severely imbalanced loads, but anything over 90A per leg is a potential problem. I'm not sure what the spec is for this generator, but it could conceivably output 180A per leg if severely imbalanced... although probably not for very long before it trips the 100A breaker.
Actual Result
Half load:
Full load:
