Victron inverter/chargers pass generator power through to your loads is that correct? So you are feeding shitty power to your loads?
Yes. When I do so, our electric blanket won't work. The timer function apparently relies on a stable 60Hz, and the 58-62Hz the Predator puts out means the blanket refuses to turn on.
or have you programmed your system to only charge battery from the generator?
This isn't possible.
Do you have an MPP? or other Voltronic?
I have a PowMr (SNRE clone, SNRE uses a modified Voltronics design), but I've never run it on generator.
I do,
The MPP's charge perfectly from my cheap "Champion" generator - complete with handles and wheels no less.
You're very fortunate. Either you have uncommonly tolerant Voltronics units, or you have a generator with very low THD, or you're not powering significant loads via passthrough.
When all the manufacturers and distributors are recommending inverter generators, that says something.
The reason for the Chargeverter is to allow charging and inverting at the same time.
While it allows that, Nah. It's because of the many many many complaints about being unable to charge with a non-inverter generator.
Something Cheap Voltronics inverters Can't actually do.
No inverter/charger can, including my Quattros. Inverter/chargers are either inverters or chargers, never both at the same time. They essentially use the same circuitry in reverse to charge. They are either passing through the generator power, passing through + charging or inverting.
If MPP Solar, Growatt, EG4, etc., reliably and consistently charged from low end non-inverter generators, the Chargeverter likely wouldn't exist.
Don't get me wrong. I think they're awesome... I want one. I mean who doesn't want a 100A 48V charger for ~$400???!!!! I simply don't need it.
