are imbalanced, one possible solution
is to disconnect the neutral from the generator at the power system end. This
presents a pure 240v load to the genset, which will force the currents to be
balanced on both phases.
Feel free to contact me directly if you have any problems or questions.
Hi All,
I confirmed that a Mate3 with 002.017.000 firmware or later will stop after an
EQ cycle if the AGS gen control function is changed from Manual to Auto after
the genny is started.
It may also work with earlier firmware revs, but I only had a 2.17 rev close by

have had a ton of anti-scald failures but, of the handful we have had, I

r. I see similar variations on almost every
string inverter installed. I don't think this detracts from potential

voltage is found to be out of tolerance one way or the other, they either
use different taps on the transformer or replace the transformer to bring it
