Re: [RE-wrenches] GFX Series with generator
I believe there is an issue with connecting the GFX (or GVFX) to just any generator, such that Outback recommends or perhaps requires (warranty reasons?) that the only generator that can be used is a particular Honda generator. The EU series maybe. A real down fall of the GFX's. benn Sent from a 'smart' phone, with touch screen keys. Please excuse shortcuts and typos.

Re: [RE-wrenches] GFX Series with generator
William, Two possibilities: 1) I'd try a GVFX with the genny they have. If the voltage and frequency on the genny are within grid parameters and is stable enough, it should work just fine. If not: 2) get a VFX and a GVFX ac board. Maybe save yourself some time by not mounting the VFX on the wall until you change the board when the grid arrives.
