Hi Kris,
I have only had one experience similar to yours. It was a DR inverter, and
a the client installed a new Budaris boiler. The boiler didn't like the
power source, and we were faced with a similar choice of replacing inverter
or appliance. In my inquiry someone suggested putting a capacit
I used to do this with the Trace SW inverters so that they would run a certain brand of copiers.I'm not sure about the size of cap, but I'm thinking it was smaller, maybe 5 or 10 uF.A drawback is that the inverter wouldn't go the sleep since it always saw the cap as a load.

Hi Kris,
A solution to try would be to add a motor run capacitor across the line
at the boiler. 10uF-20uf range may improve the crossover distortion
enough to allow the boiler ignitor to operate properly. Start with 10uF.

Adding a capacitor of that size across the inverter's output may cause problems
for the inverter. Much depends on how the inverter's output voltage control
loop
is designed, among other things.
Before making any changes of this nature, I highly suggest contacting the
inverter
manufacturer to as
My apologies. I see this recommendation comes from Magnum.
The suggestion is still valid when other brands are involved and
parallel capacitors are considered.

Brian,
Would this also work for the Splendide washers? If not, have you come up with
any solution yet?

Very likely it would work for the washer as well. Grainger (or another
industrial supply company) has 10uF 370Vac oval can motor run caps for
under 9 bucks.
