[RE-wrenches] washer on OutBack inverter

[William Miller]

Kevin:



Your experience sounds a lot like a similar one we had with a Radian
system.  It is documented here
<https://millersolar.com/MillerSolar/case_studies/25_GFI%20Tripping/GFI_Tripping.html>
along with the solution we found.  I hope you find some value in our case
study.

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.
