Jay, It was a problem that surfaced before. Outback tech support was unable to figure it out. Then, the problem went away. Recently it showed up again. For the last couple of days it has been connecting normally. The voltage has been 250 VAC or lower. I know that most direct grid tie inver

Is the radian connected to grid sell?  If so then I’d say yes the higher grid voltage is preventing connection. JayOn Oct 31, 2023, at 9:35 AM, Drake Chamberlin via RE-wrenches wrote: Jay, It was a problem that surfaced before. Outback tech support was unable to figure it out. Then, the problem

Hello Wrenches, I am completely stumped. I built a Magnum 4448 panel for a client and it was installed by an electrician. It was thoroughly tested before going out the door on all functions and pre-programmed for the off-grid site. Electrician just had to hang it on the wall and make 4 connecti

Are you referring to the MagWeb when you speak of the "remote monitor"? If so, then no, it isn't interfering. It is a completely passive device on the Magnum network and listens only. -James Jefferson Jarvis APRS World, LLC +1-507-454-2727 http://www.aprsworld.com/ On Tue, Oct 31, 2023 at 11:39

I have had issues before with Magnum inverter/chargers not accepting AC input from certain generators. In one case, it would not charge from a Honda 3kw cube, but worked fine with camp’s Honda 2kw. Magnum said it was a Honda problem, Honda said it was a Magnum problem. We ended up just rearranging

Dan, Since you are using 120Vac for the source, did you connect to just 1 AC input; AC1 or AC2? You can not parallel same phase to both inputs or damage may occur. Have you measured the generator frequency and voltage at the inverter input? Make sure to reduce the charge rate to 50% or less

Have you checked those little pop out breakers up near the wiring compartment? Have you tried "force bulk"? On Tue, Oct 31, 2023, 10:56 AM Dan Fink via RE-wrenches < re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org> wrote: > I have had issues before with Magnum inverter/chargers not accepting AC > input from

If dc voltage is elevated magnum inverters won’t charge. Force Bulk under the Cntrl menu will test if this is the issue.Rebulk voltage can be adjusted only in you use “silent” final charge rather than “Multi” as final charge state.If using lithium batteries, cc/cv instead of custom battery settings

Wrenches Ron First l would think tech support already asked you this but. I have seen this with outback, What is the incoming voltage and freq, the Honda should be fine but the other hard to say. Frequency is very important to be right otherwise the inverter will sit and wait, voltage not as much.

Ron,You didn’t say whether the 4448 is a PAE or the original AE; at 4,400 rated watts, I’m assuming that it’s a PAE, meaning split-phase 240. Your 2,000W Honda has a 120V output, and I suspect that the 3,800W Champion does too. Have you taken this into consideration?Many years ago, one of the selli
