<p>Ouch ! 2812 inverter. As a pro, you need to get them away from 12V IMHO.</p>
<p>A home with appliances needs 24v and 4kw, both minimum. </p>
<p>As Kent said, for now you can't do both gen charging and drying clothes. Why do you need a genset this time of year?</p>

<div>Hello All,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My curiosity was piqued by a recent customer complaint. I'm hoping someone has bumped up against this issue before.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The customer has a OB FXR2812 and a 3,000W Honda gen. </div>
<div>Her gas clothes dryer runs just fine off the OB inverter.</div>
<div>It runs properly on the Honda gen (when the inverter is bypassed)</div>
<div>It will not run when the gen is on and battery charging is taking place.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>All the other AC loads (including the washing machine) run properly during battery charging with the gen.</div>
<div>The OB inverter replaced an old Trace unit. The dryer worked as it should with the Trace during battery charging.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!</div>
