I'm hearing that it "should" be OK, but to CYA install a relay.
Yes, but... The real answer is to find a genset and inverter which can peacefully coexist. I don't know what sort of regulator topology is used by the gensets we have heard about, but that seems to be the key. Many commercial/industrial gensets here in the US are built around the Marathon SE350 (or something very similar) - a tried and proven analog design - but one which was never designed to co-exist with parallel generation sources. Might someone like DSE have a solution that would address this?
generator and transfer switch 200 feet away from the inverter. Installing a relay on this one would mean 200 feet of conduit through driveway and landscaping. Or, maybe a wireless connection
Why not some kind of PLC-based control with a well-constructed failsafe scheme? . _______________________________________________ List sponsored by Home Power magazine List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org Options & settings: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List-Archive: http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org List rules & etiquette: www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm Check out participant bios: www.members.re-wrenches.org
