[RE-wrenches] Puzzle: Dryer does not work during FXR battery charging

[William Miller]

Matt/Colleagues:



This could be a case of elevated THD on the voltage waveform during battery
charging.  We wrote a case study on this problem.  See this link
<https://millersolar.com/MillerSolar/case_studies/case_studies.html>, Case
Study number 25.  I hope information contained in this study helps you
resolve this issue.

Hello All,



My curiosity was piqued by a recent customer complaint.  I'm hoping someone
has bumped up against this issue before.



The customer has a OB FXR2812 and a 3,000W Honda gen.

Her gas clothes dryer runs just fine off the OB inverter.

It runs properly on the Honda gen (when the inverter is bypassed)

It will not run when the gen is on and battery charging is taking place.



All the other AC loads (including the washing machine) run properly during
battery charging with the gen.

The OB inverter replaced an old Trace unit.  The dryer worked as it should
with the Trace during battery charging.



Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance!
