Like a randy luvva... it just takes it.

In rare cases, a little tweaking is required:

MultiPlus Generator FAQ [Victron Energy]

"Accept wide input..."

And "Weak AC input"

Those two options enabled will accept absurdly bad power; however, with Weak AC input enabled, you will be limited to about 80% of the charge indicated by the charge current OR the AC input limit.

So does anybody out there run small generators with their Victron and can share their experiences? Any issues?

I run my cheap 3850W Predator generator on one leg of my 2X 5kW Quattros, and the only issue I have is that I can only get about 1600W out of the generator. The good thing is that if my loads exceed the 1600W, my inverters supplement the incoming AC with PowerAssist.

I need to get the 2nd leg of the generator wired to the 2nd inverter.

Wanted to clarify that my generator is split phase, so I can only pull <15A off each leg, hence the 1600W limit on one leg.

24 volt Multiplus 3000 and a Honda EU2200 for critical loads backup. My only issue is not having many power outages since I installed everything.
