Your replies are greatly appreciated. On the testing, there were no loads on the inverter, and I reduced the battery charging amperage to 5 amps. I went to do more testing, but the generator wouldn't start. In my limited experience with the Honda EU series, these are usually easy starting machines. Could this be a clue?
With cheap generators on Outback off grid inverters, I use the method of connecting the generator at low amperage and slowly ramping the inverter charge rate up from the mate, unit the combination is stable at the highest charge rate. Even if I could accomplish that with this system, it wouldn't satisfy the customer. >From previous posts on the list, it appeared that these generators have been working well with Outback grid-tie inverters. Am I mistaken in this? Should I refund the customer for the transfer switch, or is the problem with his generator? Will anyone attest to creating reliable systems with this combination, or should we avoid using any generator with the on grid Outbacks?
