No dumb questions. The generator is attached by 15A extension cord to an inlet on the outside of the house. This inlet is wired to the house panel. I assume that this is then wired, plus fuse, to the inverter AC input. But I would have to check! Will report back next time I go up.
The...
Thank you for this detailed and thorough reply! I managed to get the inverter to accept the generator by plugging in a 900W oil heater. That’s a win in winter because I can use the heat generated.
I don’t have all the gear to visualise the waveform unfortunately. Also I contacted the MUST...
OK I have purchased five 60W lights so I can titrate the load needed. I own a multimeter that does frequency as well. It will be a couple of weeks until I can check if this works. Will report back.
I tried five 60W halogen light bulbs for a total of 300W but it didn't work.
I tested my multimeter at home on grid supply: 233.0-236.5V, 49.96-50.01Hz
When testing the generator, the voltage remained within 1V of 241V with no load, and with a range of loads. So all good there.
However, the...
This does sound like a viable solution. Can the independent charger be operating while the house inverter is attached to the batteries and potentially charging them as well via solar? Or would I have to isolate the house inverter from the batteries (and have no power to the house while charging).
Unfortunately, I don't have the original manual and I can't find a copy online. I have emailed the company but no response as yet. Without the manual the inverter settings are somewhat cryptic.
One setting is [03] UTI : 30. I believe this is the utility charging current. I've tried...
Hi I'll try that forum thank you. I don't have the manual which is a real issue for me. The house inverter isn't that new. The generator has an inverter which I thought would be good but may have just made a purchasing mistake more expensive! I agree it may be underpowered for a 5kW...
I’m having trouble getting a stable connection between a 3200W DeWalt petrol inverter generator (DXIG3600) and Must hybrid solar inverter (PV18-5K MPK). I have an off grid solar setup with 48V battery. Most of the time I have no need of the generator but it is for when the batteries run low...
Hi, Thanks I have seen that manual however it doesn't match my inverter settings unfortunately.
On my inverter setting [02] reads SNU 60, which I'm guessing means solar and utility charging, max 60A.
Setting [01] reads UPS, with other options for this setting being FL and PO. I have no idea...
