Have you shortened the transfer time from gen to inv, voltage “cut out"acceptance of the gen in power instead of their 90Vac to say 110V/L ? Raising the output voltage on the 6848s & gen set for VD/voltage sag issues under heavy loading? Watch this as sometimes under heavy loading it will cut the AC input. I use the config tool to address this kind of issue, gives me a bit more control. I have a client that has a large external battery charger similar to a fork truck unit that he alleges causes "dirty power" while the genset is supplying power to the charger, w/o charging thru the inverters. Unfortunately w/ the virus I have yet to confirm. > On Apr 21, 2020, at 8:27 AM, Jason Szumlanski > <ja...@floridasolardesigngroup.com> wrote: > > I actually need 400Adc at 51V nominal of total charge rate.
