Yes, that's my understanding. Outback acknowledged this to me

Could it be that the SW systems are protecting the generator with
Generator Support, and the Outback inverters are not?<br>

The Outback VFX series lacks the tight input current regulation
of the SW
series, so the max AC amps in is really just a suggestion. In
many cases
(and especially with these small generators) we want to set the
max amps
in as high as possible to minimize charging time and maximize
C/rate. Yet
a surge load can momentarily exceed the max amps setting. <br>
<br>
I have observed that the Honda inverter/generators have a quite
sensitive
AC output breaker, that will sometimes trip if a surge load
(such as a
refrigerator) comes on during a charge cycle set close to the
generator's
capacity. This incident was specific to a Honda 3000i. In
contrast,
Yamaha's EF3000iSE will lug when overloaded - not good for the
generator,
but also not likely to trip the output breaker.<br>
<br>
This is a different issue than was being discussed, but fits
your
question.<br>
