<div>Wrenches,</div>
<div> </div>
<div> I have a customer that may be having
some issues with the reliability of his 11 year old Trace4024. If my
current fix doesn't solve the problem, I have suggested having the unit fixed,
which I think still happens on these puppies. I have also suggested replacing it
with either an Outback 3524 or a Magnum MS 4024. He is now running a 1 HP
Submersible pump ala autoformer along with the usual array of house
loads.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> The issue is the inverter accepting
and then rejecting the generator power, which I have been watching recent
comments here regarding this issue. I have not thoroughly checked out pump
wiring (was apparently already done by the well/pump guy, whom is
reputable), but have checked the output of the Kohler 8.5 genny and Hz and
voltage appear stable with and without load. So far I've gone the route
of programming in a few less amps on the "battery charging" and
"AC2 IN" functions. The inverter seems to be happy
with new settings, this new programming was just done a few hours ago.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> So this may be a more generic
question for those with more experience than I: Are both the OB and Magnum
inverters considered equally capable of replacing the Trace? I guess I'm
thinking mainly of that pump, but are there other considerations?</div>
<div> </div>
<div> Thanks Folks</div>
