You never reported actual readings of 37 amps. All the measurements previously were 15-18.4 amps.
You don't add the L1 and L2 amperage measurements, just like you don't add current measurements taken on DC + and DC -
At 18.5 amps you're at about 50% of rated load on the generator.
Did you adjust the voltage and frequency as the manufacturer previously recommended?
13 hours on it.Sounds like the manufacturer of the gennys are padding their numbers.
If the gen is new(ish) I would complain to the seller and get it exchanged.
Prob. for another brand ^^.
Return it.13 hours on it.
On my list but don’t think it’s my problem.You could do what I did this week to mine. I adjusted the hz unloaded to 63. And adjusted the voltage unloaded to 245. Now when it's loaded charging it sits right at 60 hz and 120 per leg dead on. She's happy now.
With your guys help schooling on the electrical side I now believe it’s a fuel issue. While the generator is new the fuel supply components are not. They were left by a previous owner of another off grid property purchase I flipped a year ago or so. They were on an old 14k generator that was worn out smoked and didn’t run correctly. I now believe part of its problems are now part of my current problems. That whole system got replace by the current owner and I kept all the left overs.Return it.
It's not living up to it rating.
It just so happens I use Iotawatt to monitor incoming AC from my Champion 100297 open frame generator -> EG4 Chargeverter. Iotawatt monitoring shows the PF.Has anyone measured Chargeverter AC input power factor for 240 vac and 120 vac operation?
