Ah okNO the 5k was about the growatt transformer .. I have a growatt 8kw split phase 220 inverter
Now I'm with you.

So I can see why you mixed them up . most people it seems with this transformer are using it differently than I want too , but it may be easier to get the victron transformer as their wiring diagrams are easy to find and under standAh ok

The victron has a higher capacity, too.So I can see why you mixed them up . most people it seems with this transformer are using it differently than I want too , but it may be easier to get the victron transformer as their wiring diagrams are easy to find and under stand
I hear ya , I was looking for someone that could verify it would work in the setup I need but could don't find anyone to concur ( until I found that video , which by then was to late ) . Also when tech support said it could not be used like that... kinda did not want to risk the $$ to get something and not have it work for me, so I ended up paying more $ for the info that the Victron would ..I am currently using that Solar Edge auto transformer.
I like the compact design. And, it just works.
It's not that I didn't trust you. I was looking for someone to explain it I.E. = L1 is input 120 volt to transformer and N in N input to Neutral spot , then connect L2 from the transformer as one leg ( L2 ) and the L1 line as the other leg = 240Well, I said that it would.
But, I understand that you don't know me.
And, it's always good if you can get more people to confirm something. Before you take the chance of wasting money.
Should work but load power factor seen by the generator will be poor.How about rectifying generator output and feeding to the inverter PV input?
Well, I know rectifying AC gives a higher DC voltage. How poor exactly? For say 3KW generatorShould work but load power factor seen by the generator will be poor.
