[RE-wrenches] Honda EU2000i output V adjustment - Magnum Energy

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

(my response to private email)
Magnums were designed for the RV industry which depends heavily on generator use for AC power. Because of that their allowable input is broad at 50 to 70 Hz and 60 to 140 VAC (120 VAC nominal). The customer must have a defective control board if it will not allow above 125 Vac. Control boards are not to pricy and very easy to replace. Hope that helps.

Hi Dave,

I’m curious, can you describe the problem you had with a Magnum inverter and the 2000i generator? Since Magnum was founded we have sold and installed their inverters to customers using the 2000i, many hundreds of customers. Not one has reported a problem. As long as you decrease the charge rate to about 50% or less, they work flawlessly.

We ended up usine a 50 foot #14 extension cord and the drop got the 2000i to play nice with the magnum. Outback and Schneider have a much wider input range and this was an older Magnum.
