    I am not surei understand your application.

    If you have 3 phase power and two grid tied single phase AC inverters, technically, you just connect them up per code (single phase each) and you are good to go. The 3 phase meter will record your power correctly.

    In practice, 3 phase power is done differently by different utilities (Wye. Delta, open Delta, different voltages, regulations on phase imbalance, loss of phase, billing for gt solar, etc.).

    You are in India (I think), and i have no idea regarding your standards.

    Are you off grid trying to measure your power usage with an old grid meter?

    Since they aren't synced, I would think only one at a time...
    Home system 4000 watt (Evergreen) array standing, with 2 Midnite Classic Lites,  Midnite E-panel, Magnum MS4024, Prosine 1800(now backup) and Exeltech 1100(former backup...lol), 660 ah 24v Forklift battery(now 10 years old). Off grid for 20 years (if I include 8 months on a bicycle).
    - Assorted other systems, pieces and to many panels in the closet to not do more projects.

    I think this is GT inverters (single phase) in a business or home served by with 3 phase utility power.

    To save money with GT solar...
