The issue of what will or will not hurt an inverter, when connected to a generator, does not seem to be resolved. The fail safe method, of course, is to connect to the line side of the transfer switch. Other than that, there are varied views.

There are systems in operation that intentionally AC couple generators to on grid inverters. A post on the List had linked to an article about such a system, but so far I can't find the information.

Has anyone else had problems with isolation relays? This was a recommended method that didn't work for me.
