Carl, NZ is 240 VAC right ? 240 VAC 2 wire ?<br>
<br>
I think that the problem may have to do with leg to leg voltage
cross regulation<br>
imbalance in 120/240 3 wire systems.<br>

You can get 2 SI’s but that is pricey. SMA now makes
an autoformer (finally)
but it is really big and pretty expensive (hey
Robin/Bob there is an
opportunity here). Too bad they don’t make a 240 Vac
SI and no
longer make the old 1800 which had a 120 Vac output.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:#1F497D">To
connect in a
generator you have to understand the SI’s grid input
programming.
The SI has only one physical grid “input”. I say
“input” because both side of an SI are bi-directional
and can be
either and input or an output depending on power flow.
If you go with Case 1
The problem is that you need to set the current limit
high enough for the SB so
it can grid feed. If your SB is larger than your
generator you can
overload the generator when in backup mode. You also
need to allow power
flow out of the grid input which you don’t want with a
small
generator. It is also nice to have wider voltage and
frequency limits
when operating with the generator. Fortunately there
are 2 logical
inputs for the single grid input and a digital generator
mode selector input
(signal level) that is used to switch between the two.
Each of these
logical inputs can have different parameters, i.e. one
for grid and one for
generator. You provide a feedback a signal to the
digital input mode
selector to tell the SI which set of parameters to use.<u5:p></u5:p></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

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

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>
