You have to set the rebulk volts higher, higher than what ever you start the generator. 

Say 56 or so.

Friends:

 

I have a client with one VFXR3648A inverter off-grid with PV and a generator.  The inverter is set to bulk at 58.2 VDC for 2 hours but when the generator is required the voltage never gets above 52 VDC.  The PV gets the voltage up to the 58 volt zone reliable.

 

The original generator was a portable of about 3 Kw.  I thought it was not providing enough RMS power so we upgraded to a Kohler vertical shaft 12 kW air cooled unit.  The problem is still the same:  The bulk voltage of the batteries never gets above 52 VDC.

 

On my next visit I plan on resetting the inverter to factory defaults.  Other than that I am not sure what to try.  I have little luck reaching Outback tech support in the last year so I am hoping someone here can provide some advice.

 

Thanks in advance.
