I bought EG4 6000 120/240 inverter and 3 EG4 48v batteries and all components from signature solar. Winter hit to fast for me to get my panels up on our new offgrid build. I'm wanting to connect one of my generators to the AC input to charge the batteries through the inverter. In the manual it says the generator must be a split phase generator. I have a Honda EU2000i 120v and a Honda EU3000i which is 240v.
I find the term split phase confusing lol. Do they mean 240v? I understand that 240v phases need to be 180 degrees offset from each other but to me that reads as a regular single phase 240v supply is what's required by the inverter no different then grid supplied 240v. So what exactly is split phase?
If anyone can enlighten me that'd be greatly appreciated. Wanna make sure I do this correctly. Thnx in advance!
