We have run into many problems on very remote sites with various really nice, small newer inverter/chargers not accepting waveforms from various newer (inverter-based) generators. For example on one particular system Honda 1000i works fine, Honda 2000i works fine, Honda 3000i and the charger says "no." Plug a different Honda 3000i into the the same inverter/charger, works fine. After sling-loading the Honda there by helicopter. Arrrrrgh! Inverter makers have been very helpful but the settings just can't be tweaked that far, RE Wrenches list gurus have been awesomely helpful, Honda not so helpful but at least honest.
My service calls by helicopter this year will include an O-scope. I really want to get to the bottom of the problem. It plagues us. I like Iota chargers more and more every summer. -- Dan Fink, Executive Director; Otherpower Buckville Energy Consulting Buckville Publications LLC NABCEP / IREC accredited Continuing Education Providers 970.672.4342 (voicemail)
