SW inverter and generator cycling in and out [RE-wrenches]

[Jack West, Talkeetna AE]

Hi Steve,

I have seen this exact thing with a 3500 watt Honda and 4024.  Had to drop Gen
Size down to about 25 amps and Max charge rate to 18 amps for system to work
properly.  Clamp on amp meter showed 29 amps delivered from genny at full load.
Inaccuracy of Trace metering? I guess so.
