[RE-wrenches] outback radian question

[jay peltz]

HI kevin,

I agree, but with two different generators I had different outcomes.
So I don't think its the inverter but the generator not having good regulation.
And so far the answer isn't that the Radian has any special issues, which means I"m putting this down to the specific generator.

thanks

jay

We found a lot of computerized control systems on furnaces and boilers would either reject the power and not power up, or would behave erratically, some would be ok if you powered it up before generator on, some not. They were fine on inverter, fine on generator, but under charge bad.
