<html><div>I recently had a costly lesson with one of these usually sweet gensets - With a good and fast meter like my Fluke 189 you can get wacky Hz readings. I had one that the inverter would not accept. checked V and Hz and saw the Hz at over 1000. Talked to Honda service center and they confirmed that the genny's inverter module contained ALL control parts and if there is a V, Hz, low power or constant overload it will be this single module. So, $900 later and a quick and easy swap, the problem did not go away and the Hz was still crazy. Talked to service center again, they confirmed that it was the module but could not believe that the new one was defective and asked if I could bring it to them. I did and their meters read 60Hz, all 3 of the meters they had in the shop, put mine on it and over 1000Hz again. Plugged my leads into the shop utility power and it was 60Hz and so it was on a Honda 1000 and 2000, they had another EU3000i in the shop and again I got over 1000. OK, a call into Honda now this time we got a rep that saw this before and said it is normal for this with a very fast meter and ONLY on the EU3000i no other genny they make! Took it back, put the old inverter module back in and still no connection to inverter. Now (perhaps before?) I check his inverter settings, the AC input current was set too high!! UUuurrggg, never had my trusty Fluke live up to its brand name before. So, stuck with an inverter module for a EU3000i with 5 mins. on it, anyone need one contact me off list.</div><div> </div><div>Don't get caught in this one!<br><br><br>From the Solar, Wind and Hydro powered office of Jeff Oldham/Regenerative SOLutions</div></html>
