<div>John,</div>
<div> Thanks for that bit of information. I have a customer with a SB5000 and recently added a Sunny Island with 8 L16 batteries. This answers their question as to what they will do in an extended outage with no sun. I wanted to suggest a small backup generator but wasn't sure how it would work. Now I can install the cord and set the sunny island for a Honda 2000i, several of which I keep on hand for emergency power for us and our customers.</div>

Yes, that's my understanding. Outback acknowledged this to me years ago.<br>

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

<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>
