[RE-wrenches] Husqvarna 5500 and VFX3524 Compatibility question

[Greg Egan]

Todd, Dan & Ray and all,

Thanks for the answers on my question.  Sorry for my slowness getting back.

The generator has a 30 amp 240 V twist lock connection we're using for 
power to the inverter - first through a PSX 240 xfmr.  I've spoken to 
the customer about adjusting the charging amperage down and seeing if 
that makes a difference.  I also gave him an electric heater (120 v) 
that has a low 900W and high 1300 W setting.  I'm hoping that by adding 
the resistive load while battery charging the genny will be able to run 
with a larger charging load and he won't have to run it as long.

Normally I don't recommend adding electric heat to an off grid home but 
he only uses his genny in the winter.  In the spring he gets enough sun 
that the PV can stay ahead of the load until mid fall. Thankfully when I 
brought up this idea he said he'd be happy to have some extra heat - 
we're having a REAL winter this year.

I told him to call me if he still has problems and I'll come out (he's a 
ways out of town).  If I do I'll bring the Fluke 87 and see if I can 
learn anything from it.

Dan, that's the first I've heard of a Honda 3000i not working with an 
Outback inverter.  I hope it was a fluke (no pun intended). Anyone else 
had issues with the Honda i line of gensets and inverters?

Thanks again,
--
