I see. That feature is coming this year in 3 new inverter models from Magnum. They will share up to full output with the generator. The 12 volt will be 3kW, the other two will be 24v, 4kW, one with dual AC inputs.
Xantrex has one 3kW 12 volt model with gen support but I have seen quite a few failures so I do not recommend them. Also, they are made in China while the Magnums are US made.

I mean the ability of the inverter to sense when the attached generator is being asked to provide beyond rated amperage and syncing with the generator and assisting in powering loads. Does the Magnum do this? I read the manual and did not see this function. William Miller PS: Xantrex SW, Xantrex XW, Outback Radian and Sunny Island all do this. I don't think any of them provide neutral switching.
