MPE803A AC Circuit Interrupter Nuisance Trips

Is there any way to adjust the threshold at which the AC circuit interrupter trips? It's supposed to be at 105%, but it's happening at 95% load after about ten minutes charging batteries with EG4 Chargeverters on my solar power system.
I've seen people loading these to 133% without tripping, so I'm wanting to know how to improve the headroom adjustment as it's tripping too low a current.

The load meters are estimates only. Get a good clamp on meter and know for sure what your load is.

If you find that it is indeed tripping early, get the TM and check the burden resistors. The resistors could be bad or you could have a bad connection somewhere in that circuit.
