Larry, 

As you may remember from an earlier post, the Magnum also wouldn't run a
Buderus hydronic boiler. Follow up testing never happened, so I have no more
info, as once a Lochinvar boiler was installed the problem ended, and
everyone else involved went home.

www.positiveenergysolar.comHi Jeff,

 

I am not sure if this relates to your issue but there is an issue with
Magnum inverters and Splindide washers. Splindide will not work on a Magnum
sine wave. They are aware of this. Here is a copy of my old post to the
list:

 

....I have a recent power issue come up with a Magnum inverter. A customer
tried to operate her Splindide washer/dryer but the motor would not start. I
looked at the waveform with a scope and RMS voltage and frequency were fine.
The waveform looked good until the motor tried to start. The washer was
putting a jagged noise riding on the sine wave. The voltage and waveform
still looked OK other than the noise. I was mostly sure that this was the
cause so I grabbed a 600 watt cheap import sine wave inverter and connected
the washer. Same ripple was present on the waveform but the $400 inverter
would run the washer motor fine. It also runs fine with a 1600 watt Honda
inverter/generator.
