[RE-wrenches] Generator surging

[Mac Lewis]

Hi William,

Do you know what your AC input mode is?
I'd try playing with this mode.
If you have a generator, I'd try switching between "generator", "support".
You may quickly see a difference.  There is a small diode symbol that shows
up on the Mate3s screen during generator charging.  I don't fully
understand what that means but I know that it can affect how a generator
works with the Radian.

Also, you may try lowering the charging current and see how the generator
responds.

What type of generator?  Whats your AC input limits?
