Those FX have poor power factor when charging.
The radian does as well and the fix for that is the setting william talks about.
I don’t know if the A versions have the same issue?
Most of the time my clients didn’t have an issue. But it seems to be a lot of variables that factor into if it’s a problem or not. Charge rate, specific generator, ac loads etc.
In all my years, it was a radian ( epic light show with early LEDS and a high end stove that freaked out and 1 stacked vfx but I couldn’t remember what didn’t work. I think we put it on a UPS.
I still don’t think we will ever see new legacy OB products again.

Dave,
The problem may not be with the generator or the inverter function of the Outback inverter, but rather with the charger section of the Outback which is activated whenever there is generator input.
I had a similar experience with an off-grid customer in Springfield VT. He has a traditional FX or VFX set-up that ran fine for years. Then he changed-out his LP cooking range to one with electronic brains and added UPS units to his computer. Running with normal inverter power was fine, but if the generator was turned on, the cook-top display went haywire and the UPS units stopped working. Suspicion was immediately directed to the generator, but if the system was placed in bypass, everything worked fine with the generator power...even with a cheap portable generator hooked-up temporarily .
Conclusion was that the Outback charger must be introducing some unwanted electronic noise. The customer decided to live with it rather than try to fix it. My recommendation would be some L-C line filtering tuned to 60 Hz to reduce electronic noise. Try your system in bypass.

Wrenches,
I need to replace a front load washer in my off grid rental house.
Looking at LG's and I'm wondering if any of you have experience with them running on OutBack inverter power.
The Maytag washer I'm replacing ran fine on inverter power but would not operate on Generac Eco-Gen power.

Hi David
I?ve never had an issue with any electronic washer with an Outback, that?s the best I can say.

I've been running many different brands of front loading washers for multiple clients on OB Radian and VFX/GVFX & FXR as well as Magnum MS4448PAE and still here at my own home on a pair of Trace SW5548's since 2002. Zero issues. Christopher On Mon, Oct 21, 2024 at 11:20?AM Jay via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote:

Kathleen wrote it up in HP (rip). It?s an ?Inverter-Direct Drive? model, whatever that means. Energy Star, of course. It runs on an OLD FX-2524 and has been flawless (so far?).
