[RE-wrenches] Help on something strange

[MDElectricSolar]

I’ve never done one but a quick Google search and it looks like the output of this generator connects directly to the battery bank and probably self monitors and charges when necessary.

One of the issues, the customer was told to buy and install a Kohler 6VSG 48 Volt DC generator. The original installer ran the DC outputs into the AC inputs of the inverters. Needless to say, application does not work. It was mentioned to me that these DC Gensets need a “Buffer “ between the gen and the battery bank.
