On order, should be here tomorrow.An oscope could tell what's going on with the AC waveform.
Sounds like the dimmer is not tracking the waveform properly-- not really "true sine wave." Would be good to find out the V(THD) for the inverter output, but the scope read will be interesting.Got bored and went back to messing with things. Checked all the AC and DC wiring and connections again, nothing there. Did find that the hertz output of the dimmer at minimum on the inverter is half of what the grid measured but, the voltage was the same. Not sure how they work but that is at least something.
That's correct. It is simply a pass though to the main panel. The neutral ground bond screw in the inverter was removed since I am using a generator transfer panel and not a true sub panel. The neutral and grnd are already bonded on the house side whether the inverter is in bypass or battery mode.What model of Reliance transfer switch do you have? Your discussion about wiring the neutral is confusing as the neutral in the transfer switch should be nothing more than a pass-thru of what would be the neutral coming from a generator to the neutral in your main panel. It's usually just a piece of wire going from the input socket to the neutral bonding point of your main panel
It will be interesting. They do not give any specs on THD I read through the manual and online material several times now.Sounds like the dimmer is not tracking the waveform properly-- not really "true sine wave."

Ok. That's the correct way to wire it. Any time one of these inverters comes up where you have to remove a screw, I question as to whether or not it actually removes the neutral/ground bond. You might want to verify that with a meter.That's correct. It is simply a pass though to the main panel.

AC input is wired in. On ac bypass the neutral and ground are unbonded. In battery mode they are bonded, so I lifted that bond per the instructions from Reliance and NEC. The inverter neutral goes to the reliance panel which is just a pass though to the main buss bar. I can put the screw back in but then I wouldn't I have 2 loops?Model of transfer switch?
This actually could be a result of removing the ground bond screw in the unit. You did wire in the ac input of the inverter for bypass mode?
As the transfer switch is neutral pass thru, how did you wire up the inverter output neutral?
