Hello offgrid Wrenches, I just inherited an off grid system with one VFX3524 inverter running the home loads, and a 17kW Guardian Generac they use for charging (through an X-240 back into the inverter) & to run their Franklin 3hp 240 VAC well pump, S. F. max amp 17.0 ( rated on its controller)
This is a really convoluted system as they have another 120/240 VAC Transformer to have the inverter talk to the 240 volt signal the gen set needs to see. Yikes. So I am proposing to add a second inverter if it can run the well pump and eliminate the extra transformer. This will also reduce gen set run time in half while battery charging, a big plus with the nice 24V Hawker battery bank, 1020 AH at the 6 hour rate. There aren't any other unusual large AC loads in the home, just the fridge, washer, computer, and such. LPG for cooking, water heating, clothes dryer. Thanks in advance for all ideas here!
