<br><font size=2 color=#000080 face="Arial">Does anybody happen to have
a temp sensor for a Xantrex XW inverter? This is the type that bolts
onto the negative battery terminal. I am not sure but I think the
Magnum temp sensor may work as well. We have been trying for weeks
to track one down for a customer from our distributors and Schneider—everyone
says they have it but they don’t. . .</font>

<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">I suggest that method above as
the best. Generators can change frequencies under load and other conditions,

<br><font size=2 color=blue face="Arial">Line voltage coil relays are also
cheaper and easier to get as compared to frequency controls.</font>

<p><font size=2 face="Arial">Folks,</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">I am back on the project where I want to install
grid tied inverters (Enphase) on a feeder located downstream of a generator
and ATS.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">I have considered using a drop out contactor
to isolate the inverters from the generator following a loss of line voltage.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">As an alternative, how well might it work
to reset the generator frequency so that it is outside the inverter range?
In this way the inverter would always see the generator as "bad"
energy and therefore would never connect to the generator, only the utility.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">The nominal frequency range for the inverter
is 59.3 to 60.5.</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"> </font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">What is the effect on the loads in the household
if the generator frequency is adjusted to say 58 or 62 hertz? Would the
higher or lower number be better? Would this fry everything in the house?
I can't see that making a relatively small change like this would effect
the overall impedance such that a problem with current capacities would
be a problem. It seems like the frequency would be more of a problem for
some devices.</font>
<p><font size=2 face="Arial">Anyone have experience with deliberately adjusting
generator frequency away from 60 hertz as described above?</font><font size=3 face="Times New Roman">
