Had Radian failures and typical issues contacting Outback tech support in a
reasonable amount of time. (ended up replacing boards on site, just like FX
inverters, which is nice rather than sending the unit in)
Xantrex XW is massively improved after a rocky past, interconnect box is very

My initial experience with Radians was not good. I had one of the 4kw modules
fail three times on a 8048. Once was the result of a factory wiring error,
plain as day when I went to replace it. Module 1 output was wired to module 2
terminals on the AC board and vice-versa. But the communication c
Interesting thread. Our firm wrote off Outback products several years ago for
two reasons:
1) beyond abysmal tech support - when we have a problem we need to talk to a
skilled, knowledgeable tech, not some kid reading off a script designed for end
users; or to sit around for a call back that ne
HI Kevin,
I agree that tech support hasn’t been the been the best with OB, I do think its
getting better.
As to the charger issues. The radian has a generator mode that as long as its
within voltage limits will use any frequency or harmonics and take it all out.
Amazing. I wrote here some m
Hi Jay,
Thanks for your information. That generator mode sounds like an excellent
feature. I guess it is time to give the Radian an opportunity.
re: XW+ generator charging - interesting point as I was recently trying to get
an XW+ 6048 to play happily with an under-sized Honda EU6500 generator
the old sw inverters had something called "generator support", where if the
loads exceeded the generator's output, the inverter would forego charging and
sync with, and assist the generator's output.
the fx series does not offer this.
do the radian, xw or magnum inverters do this?
thanks,
Hi Kevin,
Great job on that box! I don’t understand the issue with small boxes.
I think you hit it on the head. For some reason the XW hits really hard when
it starts charging. If it was slower it might work better.
And because its so damn hard to program those things, even if they come up
Todd,
Magnum Energy only has three models that provide generator support modes: the
new MSH series. You can program the input current level where the inverter will
turn on and sync with the generator input. This is an excellent feature for
undersize generators. Transfer is fast and transparent.
Portable generators are usually only rated to deliver 60% of their rating
continuously.

Hi Todd
Yes the XW, Radian, FXR versions and the RE version from magnum
Have generator support.
But that isn't what I was talking about in my last post.

Peltz power.
