Hi Kris,

 

A solution to try would be to add a motor run capacitor across the line
at the boiler.  10uF-20uf range may improve the crossover distortion
enough to allow the boiler ignitor to operate properly. Start with 10uF.


 

Regards,

Brian

Esteemed wrenches,

I am assisting in troubleshooting a stand alone system with three
stacked Magnum 4448 PAE inverters.  The electric ignition of LP for the
wood boiler will not fire from inverter power.  As soon as we fire up
the generator, the boiler ignites.  Has anyone seen this before?  Is
there a solution?  The boiler is a Central Boiler E-Classic 2400.

Thanks in advance!
