portable generator.</DIV>
<DIV>The appliance will not even work however when the backup gen is running and
transfering through the inverters.</DIV>
<DIV>Outback T.S. suggested to check the Neutral to ground bond so that is the
next step. Also tried to set the Power Save levels the same (stacked pair)</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>We experience issues like this from time to time.
PF seems to be the culprit. Have you measured it or looked at the
waveform yet? How an inverter deals with PF seems to vary
broadly. For example, the Splendide XC2100 washer/dryer will not work
on a Magnum Energy and a few other sine wave inverters. However,
it will run on a low cost GoPower or Samlex sine wave inverter. Below
is a scope trace of voltage/current of the Magnum inverter &
Splendide washer. Upper trace is voltage<BR><BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=plainMail><BR><BR>By adding a 50uF run capacitor inline, it
somewhat tames the current phase and the sine wave so the Magnum can
operate the washer. <BR><BR></DIV>
