I have a customer that has a problem with a new generator. He has
two VFX3648 inverters in Outback stacking. He acquired a new
generator, a Kohler 12RES, a reputable make and model. Below is a
description of the problem:<br><br>
</font><font face="arial" size=2><i>The 12RES seems to be operating OK
except for one problem. At the end of a charging cycle, when the
gen automatically shuts down and load goes back to the inverters, all
lights, TVs, etc., flash, one TV shuts off, and a GFI trips. This
has happened every time. It did not happen with the 15RES or the
smaller back-up gen (which was disconnected manually). With the
15RES the same GFI would occasionally trip while the unit was charging
and handling house load, but never at the auto shutdown point. I
replaced the GFI, but it still trips. There are three GFIs in the
house, but only one--always the same--trips.<br><br>
<br>
</i></font><font size=3>I suggested he adjust the AC2/Gen transfer delay
to a lower number. He reduced it to minimum and this did not
resolve the problem. I also had him verify that the AC source is
selected as generator, which it is.<br><br>
Do you have any suggestions?<br><br>
Thanks in advance,<br><br>
