Jeremy,

The problem is not with the inverter, it's with the generator. Changing=20
inverters won't solve the problem, but changing the generator to one=20
that doesn't die under load will. What is the make and model?

>I have a client running an FX2024T. He has been trying to EQ the battery=
 bank for days now, and it appears to be an issue with his generator. The=
 generator voltage at no load is 122vac and as soon as we plug the cord in,=
 the voltage to the inverter drop to 77vac. I know this is too low to allow=
 a transfer and sync. I let him try my little Honda 1kw genny and also a=
 Generac 5500w unit. Both allowed the inverter to charge the batteries.=20
>Is the OB FX much more discrete when it comes to gen voltage and Hertz?=
 The client wants to get rid of the inverter now.  He is convinced that the=
 inverter needs a pure sinewave AC input. If his gen works with a DR unit, I=
 and he will be more concerned. =20
