Hi Chris,
My
little load.
If the same effect, measure the surge current to the inverter using
your meter. I think the surge should be very minimul.

Hey Jay -
I have seen this type of problem before - but it was with Kohler
generators and the old SW series. They use a voltage regulation system
which actually increases the AC output voltage along with the AC load
level - they call it power boost and it is intended to offset the
voltage

appeared that the system ran more normally when not connected to the
house loads, but still cycled.
Could something on the load side

Hi Kirpal,
I understand and have sure seen lots of fixed generators that we not
fixed.
The guy who sells most of the generators I use used to be at Stanford
labs, smart guy.
I agree but I have never seen this type of problem, that is fixed by
turning on a few lights.
And to be clear,

need attension, if not (changes to settings having occured or batteries just to

Hi Ron,
Almost for sure its the genny. What type and when was it last
serviced and how many hours does it have?
if the voltage is going all over the place really quickly then its not
connecting to the inverter at all.
So here is a test that might help. Turn on a resistive load such as

there's not an auto-idle switch on that genset which may have
