Nik,

120/208 has a 120 degree phase angle between legs, same as three-phase but you only have two legs.  Check with Outback tech support, but I believe the GTFX inverter can only be stacked in systems with 120/240 split phase (180 degrees between legs). 

If there are no 208 loads, just unplug the second inverter from the Hub and program both inverters to be a Master so you have two independent 120-volt systems.  With two independent 120-volt systems you should have a separate neutral conductor for each inverter, on the load side because the two inverters aren't synchronized when there is no utility power.  On the source side they can share a neutral, but it has to be the same size as the hot legs, because line power keeps them in sync.

If you have 208 loads on the backup power panel; well -- you can't do it unless Outback has support for three-phase grid connected systems.

Hi Gang,

I have a problem. We are installing a gridtie PV system with 2 battery-based inverters for 240V. The service coming in to the condo is 120/208 split-phase fed from 3-phase 208 in main building. The master inverter pickups up L1 but the slave inverter will not sync. What am I missing?

Thanks and Happy New Year to all!
