GM Neil, I regularly use my KPA500 on a generator. This week, I'm using it on a Cummins 3.5 KW in our RV. One year ago, I used it on a Harbor Freight Predator equivalent to the Honda 2 KW inverter. It works well on all three.
The only caveat is when operating CW, I needed to avoid using the "Econ" mode which sets the idle speed much lower. The Honda and HF versions didn't like the sudden change in current draw and would fault. As always, check the HV supply reading on the KPA500 to determine if a different transformer primary setting is necessary under load. I want to add the KPA500 manual describes the different primary tap settings. There seems to be a lack of manual-checking going around these days. The updated manuals (firmware changes) are invaluable tools! Fortunately, Elecraft allows making notes in the PDF versions of their manuals (copy and paste) which is much easier to accomplish than in the printed versions. 73, Bill, K8TE -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
