[RE-wrenches] magnum question

I have been informed [long ago] that not equally weighting a generators output can cause excessive & uneven wear on the windings of a generator.
Way Back in the day, folks [old wrenches] used to place an additional load [hot water element, heat lamps...] on the unused leg to balance out a 240 vac gen that was only using one 120v leg for inverter /battery charging on a 240 only generator. Simple but effective though not very fuel thrifty.

I am open to dispelling this anecdote/old wife's tale, if anyone can confirm or dispute this. It makes sense to me overall.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] magnum question

Hi All,

My question is can a single  Magnum remote run 2 inverters each as master for 120v?


I’ve got a client with a 3 phase generator, and I need two phases, but I don’t need 240v.


1. I can’t change the generator
2. Two phases because I can’t load one phase that heavily.

I can do 2 Outback FXR’s each as a master,  but I’d need to have 2 Mate3S’s. 

But I don’t know if magnum has that possiblity?

Thanks

jay
