Question to those using the Victron Autotransformers, are you noticing any issues with voltage drops in either no-load or high-load scenarios? I'm designing my RV dual inverter electrical system right now and was thinking about making it a split-phase system, which would require me to use an autotransformer to create split phase power on 120V sources like my Onan generator or 30A/15A shore power (largely so I can charge my batteries in half the time on generator and have a 120/240 outlet for my homebrewing system). I was also considering adding one for load balancing downstream of the inverters. There isn't a whole lot of information about these autotransformers in actual use though. From other sites I've encountered 3 separate people who have had one leg sit at 114V no-load (120V other leg) and sometimes significant voltage drops with high loads. These low voltages went away when the autotransformer was bypassed.
I'd appreciate if those who use an autotransformer for creating split phase or load balancing share their experience with this product whether positive or negative.
