Re: [RE-wrenches] Honda EU2000i output V adjustment

[Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar]

We ended up usine a 50 foot #14 extension cord and the drop got the
2000i to play nice with the magnum. Outback and Schneider have a much wider
input range and this was an older Magnum.

No, this is not adjustable. Bear in mind these are not like standard
generators where you can adjust the AVR/RPM. These are inverter/generators.
I have had instances of bad inverter boards causing low voltage. That's a
repair, not an adjustment.

I have a client
that needs to adjust the output voltage on a honda eu2000i. I have looked
on the web and can't find anything. 

Does anyone know if it is adjustable?
It may not be. Thank-you!

Hi Dave,

I’m curious, can you describe the problem you had with a Magnum inverter and 
the 2000i generator? Since Magnum was founded we have sold and installed their 
inverters to customers using the 2000i, many hundreds of customers. Not one has 
reported a problem. As long as you decrease the charge rate to about 50% or 
less, they work flawlessly.

Re: [RE-wrenches] Honda EU2000i output V adjustment - Magnum Energy

[RE Ellison]

I have used many older magnums with the 2000 W Honda‘s and the Harbor Freight 
version with no problems whatsoever

The key is to set the maximum charging down to under the limit of the inverter

I’m presently running a harbor freight 3500 W inverter generator it charges at 
70% and runs flawlessly

Best 600 bucks I ever spent

Re: [RE-wrenches] Honda EU2000i output V adjustment - Magnum Energy

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

(my response to private email)
Magnums were designed for the RV industry which depends heavily on generator 
use for AC power. Because of that their allowable input is broad at 50 to 70 Hz 
and 60 to 140 VAC (120 VAC nominal). The customer must have a defective control 
board if it will not allow above 125 Vac. Control boards are not to pricy and 
very easy to replace. Hope that helps.
