[RE-wrenches] Generators and Grid-tie Systems

[Drake Chamberlin]

The issue of what will or will not hurt an inverter, when connected 
to a generator, does not seem to be resolved.  The fail safe method, 
of course, is to connect to the line side of the transfer 
switch.  Other than that, there are varied views.

There are systems in operation that intentionally AC couple 
generators to on grid inverters.  A post on the List had linked to an 
article about such a system, but so far I can't find the information.

Has anyone else had problems with isolation relays?  This was a 
recommended method that didn't work for me.
