[RE-wrenches] [EXTERNAL] Re: washer on OutBack inverter

[White, Will]

I've had this issue with a Grundfos circulator pump for my radiant heating. It works fine when it's on the inverter, but as soon as the generator turns on, the pump stops circulating. I've got a dual-stack VFX3524, which I'll be upgrading to Victron shortly.

Thanks,
Will

We have had issues with older FX / VFX Outback inverters not reliably operating some appliances with electronic controls when the generator is running and charging batteries. Unsure if Radian corrected that. Loads ok on inverter, ok on generator direct, but charging – problems. It’s a known issue with harmonics from the charging circuit. It became enough of a problem that we stopped recommending Outback for full time off-grid clients where generator use is a reality in the winter months. Had to replace several units with another brand.

Wrenches,



I need to replace a front load washer in my off grid rental house.



Looking at LG's and I'm wondering if any of you have experience with them running on OutBack inverter power.



The Maytag washer I'm replacing ran fine on inverter power but would not operate on Generac Eco-Gen power.
