I have 2 6500ex inverters setup in split phase. I just had my outback radian 8048 partially fail on me and am now using the EG4's (in split phase) in conjunction with epever solar charge controllers for my off grid setup.
I just had to fire up the generator for the first time (not enough solar today). I have the 50 amp outlet feeding both inverters (the neutral and ground go through a splitter for each inverter's ac input, and the hots go into each inverter's line input)
Immediately I noticed the generator surges consistently and the "charging" indicator will display for a bit and then will not show, this continues to happen. I tried playing with setting 2 and 11, and it doesn't seem to matter what I set these to as the problem continues to occur. I believe it stays in line mode fine and the power stays on but the charger does not stay on consistently.
Please keep in mind I was using this generator with my outback inverter/charger without issues before it partially failed so I don't think the generator is the issue.
I'm hoping this is just a problem with the settings. What is the difference between setting 2 and 11? The manual says these work in "unison" so I feel like that means setting 11 is what the total ac input can be (for both line and the charger) and setting 2 is just how many amps the charger can output?
Any help or guidance on this will be greatly appreciated thank you!
