[RE-wrenches] Outback Radian Generator Charging

[integrityenergy101]

Charger Limit is also set to 30 amps. We tried raising the total AC input limit to max and that may have helped increase the chargeby 200-300watts up to 4.8kw but thats it. By my math we should be able to see about 6KW+/- of charging power. We are using Generator input mode I  believe.  We will try switching to Support mode and see if that helps.  By the way batteries are 8- Simpliphi 3.8.    Sent from my Galaxy

We are having some with charging from the generator, as the generator charging seems to be limited to about 4500Watts +/- (20amps AC) when charging through the Radian.  It is a Kohler 8.5RES generator and we have the AC input limit set to 30amps and the Gen input set to 30amps.  The house load is only about 200Watts when we are charging.  The system is at 2200ft of elevation, but I don’t know if that makes enough of a difference.The Gen output voltage seems pretty good and holds around 234V-236V while charging.Any thoughts as to why it may be limiting would be appreciated.Thanks,Amos
