225 amps current limiter

Perhaps someone can help me understand how current limiter works.
On CJ there is a 225amps current limiter in crossfeed bus. According to training manual on the ground generator limit is 250 apms. So here is my question: When on the ground and one engine is running while crossfeeding power to all buses my limit is 225 amps and when both engines are running my amps limit now is 250 amps. Is that correct ?

Im asking because when we start one engine after lets say one week of no flying often gen amps is as high as lets say 220 amps. In such case I should wait till gen amps decrease below 200 before swithing on avionics in order not to exceed 225 amps of current limiter, correct ?
