[RE-wrenches] XW6848 inverter leaf blower problem load

[Kevin Pegg]

Hello Wrenches,

I Installed a 4 x XW+6848 system with 4,000 Ah UnigyII AGM battery bank in the spring. New building site, cycle charging with generator presently until next year for PV installation.

Construction crew of ~15 has been running flawlessly off this system for 6 months with every kind of power tool. 3 buildings serviced from a centralized power shed.

Homeowner adds a Black & Decker BV6000 leaf blower and problems arise. The blower starts fine, but most of the LED lights in the facility will flash on and off twice when the blower starts up. Not a flicker, but an off/on cycle about 1s each. This behavior extends to other buildings that might be 500' away. Works fine when running the generator in charge mode (therefore gen powering loads directly).

Testing this same leaf blower on my own single XW6048 system, with LED lights, and cannot replicate the issue. Even a small 2kW mod sine inverter in my service truck runs it fine.

I will put a call into Schneider but am not holding breath for help there.

Any ideas?

Kevin
