Hi john Good to hear from you.
Your system charges at above Outback programmed amp setpoints? And in a sort of cyclical way? Sometimes it’s normal for an hour then will go to 2x charge rate then back down then maybe 1.5. I talked to a senior Outback tech and they haven’t heard of this issue. But if you say is true, how do you adjust the settings so it won’t trip the generator breaker? This one is already at 5aac on ac input and 5 aac on charge and it will still, not often trip the generator breaker.
