Hi
I have this generator....
https://gridfree.store/products/gt6000esi


That I am going to connect to this inverter...
https://gridfree.store/products/growatt-spf-6000es-plus-6kw-48v

The generator came with this two wire socket.

How am I meant to connect my two wires to this type of terminal?...solder ?

At the inverter end how does this style of connector work....the white ones...are they spring loaded ?
Do you just push your wire into each terminal?
It is very hard view and access the connectors as inverter is already on wall.

All that stuff is difficult to work with.

Low temp solder on the deutsch connector (the round one).

The white one on your inverter I have no idea.

Any chance the manual tells you what type of connector it is?

Also, what do you do to get the generator to start? Short two pins? Apply power? Single shot?

Skip the solder. Wire directly to the nc-c-no connection from your inverter. "Nc" means "normally closed", and "no" means "normally open". Find out what signal the inverter gives, and wire accordingly.

Try this first: connect the button (probably normally open). Push and hold passed the time of startup. Does the starter keep running? Test 2: turn off the fuel. Try starting again. Does the starter disconnect after 10 seconds with a failed start. If either test fails, you risk burning out the starter motor or other damage to the generator. What you need with inverter gen start is "unattended" start. Many portables are attended start - you provide the failed start logic.

Skip the solder. Still need to connect my two wires to that generator socket some how...so if not solder the how?

Wire directly to the nc-c-no connection from your inverter. Yes but I still don't know how the two wire actually fit into that white inverter connector..push fit ?

"Nc" means "normally closed", and "no" means "normally open". Find out what signal the inverter gives, and wire accordingly.Will sort this once wires are actual connected.

OP, this might help. Those are called solder-cup connectors.


Again nn your inverter though, no idea. 🫤
