Kris:
This anecdote may not help, but maybe it will amuse: I had the unfortunate
circumstance to reverse a hot and a neutral after rewiring an SW Plus
inverter system. I destroyed a bunch of appliances, including a brand new
gas furnace. The HVAC contractor replaced the control board for the
furnace but although the previous control board had operated on inverter
power, the new one would not. I ended up buying an entire new furnace (and
refrigerator, and on-demand water heater and some very expensive LED light
bulbs...).
The take-away here is some appliances are on the border of
working/not-working when powered by an inverter. Even an exact replacement
control board will act differently than the unit it replaced.
Good luck.

Esteemed wrenches,
I am assisting in troubleshooting a stand alone system with three stacked
Magnum 4448 PAE inverters. The electric ignition of LP for the wood
boiler will not fire from inverter power. As soon as we fire up the
generator, the boiler ignites. Has anyone seen this before? Is there a
solution? The boiler is a Central Boiler E-Classic 2400.
Thanks in advance!
