Wrenches,
Responding to a neighbors call for help troubleshooting their off grid PV system with a ten year old OutBack 2024T inverter I came upon a problem that I don't recall seeing before. I may have seen it but my semi-retired brain cannot remember this particular problem. Issue is that the inverter will not synchronize and charge with a seemingly good Honda 7000i generator. . Generator output as measured with Fluke 126Vac 59.99Hz 165Vac Peak runs loads fine on its own . Connected through to OB2024 the typical 30 second delay before transferring and charging happens per usual (Red LED blinks a couple of times then stays off and Amber charging light blinks for the delay period). . Upon transfer 300 Watts of AC loads on inverter seem to run OK on generator BUT generator output falls to 95Vac and no charging is initiated. Hz stays good and there is no audible change in the generator performance that I can tell. . No Red LED error light on OutBack. Just Amber charging light is on, but no charging happens (no rise in voltage and no positive amps showing on a fully functional TirMetric meter). . No Mate on this system and I did not have one in my truck.
