[RE-wrenches] New Washer - Old Inverter

[jay]

HI Bill,

I would kindly disagree with the need for a high surge 1800 watt inverter.

If this washer is anything like the ones I own or have tested, these washers have no surge.  
I own a new LG ( branded sears) front load, works on my Outback VFX, but in measuring it, there is no surge at all.  Max watts around 300.  
Yours might be different however.

The voltage at the outlet is 117 vac and the Sears guy says that is the issue. When the system is running on the genset (Northern Light 6kW Diesel) we get 121 vac and the washer runs fine. That seems like a very tight voltage window and a issue with the washer not the system. I have seen sensitive electronics go wacky with no N-G bound maybe that is the issue? I did not install the system so I would have go poke around. Any one out there have any ideas?
