Hey Jeremy,             I have run into this issue before and the one we found out to work the best is a Hubbell Part# GFRST20W.  Dont know if things have changed since last but give it a try.  Good luck! Andrew Perkins Greenwired Store Manager/Service Tech​ P: 707-923-2001 ext. 100 115

I have been waiting literally months for delivery of 4024 and 4448 PAE inverters both this year and 2021. It seems Magnum has dropped through the cracks in the floorboards. My supplier, the largest in Canada, has no idea of future shipments, they just show up without advance notice. I think Magn

Hi Rich, This appears to be a newer thing with magnum. I’ve seen this and it’s been commented previously here on the wrenches. Doesn’t appear to be load or charge related. It’s definitely not on the older models. Magnum says that this voltage fluctuation is normal operation. Jay Peltz pow

I would think it has to be frequency. What else could shift the time?  Up until about 2 years ago we were a grid isolated system and no one could use a plug in the wall clock. It takes just a very little off 60 Hz for a clock to keep incorrect time. Being off .5 Hz will result in 42,300 cycles
