Hello Wrenches,
We are adding a Generac EcoGen to an existing Outback VFX 3648
system. It was the recommendations from those of you on this list
who have installed them that led to this choice. Your testimonials
are very much appreciated.
I've read, on this list, that people have had issues with FX family
inverters starting and stopping generators reliably. The plan was to
go with the Atkinson GSCM and a separate voltage controlled
relay. It appears that if the system is 48 volts, it is necessary to
center tap the battery bank for a 24 volt feed to the GSCM. This I
don't want to do.
Is it still agreed that the FX inverters are not reliable for
starting and stopping generators?
Has anyone used a GSCM on a 48 volt system without problems?
Thank you,
Drake
