@sunshine_eggo iooks like a inverter generator?
running on petrol I presume.
Yeah for some reason back when I bought this diesel one I was thinking diesel would be more reliable. But I was probably not fully aware of the difference between 1500 and 3000 rpm, nor was I aware that hyundai jiust labelled some generic generator. I will look into all of the above over the next year or two.
Seems it would be worth selling it and getting a pure sine wave generator at some point,
I feel like I have heard people both suggest an inverter generator as suitable and others say they were not right, I am assuming the people who say they are not suitable would refer to a much more expensive 1500rpm diesel as being more appropriate, but, they are just out of the price bracket.
Given my budget might probably would of been better getting two of the cheaper ones, with one as a backup if I was worried about reliability. That still would of been cheaper than what paying of a sub par diesel.
The generators like all tools in europe all seem to be different to what you get over there. So will try and hunt down some equivalents over here in France.
is yours hooked up to ats? automatic start? Think thats one feature I would want whatever generator I get. The other concern was fuel tank size. The smaller ones have tiny tanks.
Feel like that every time I check out at the supermarket these days.Make sure you're sitting before you check the price

Will do some research on it. Yeah I was looking at the 250/100 but found a decent price with for the 450/100 only being 50% more than the 250/100, it would be on order if I can wait for them to restock it. Happy to switch up the array configuration if needed. Its ground mounted so pretty easy to access
Will do some reading up on them both and have a think.
The inverter in my inverter generator is going bad.
It's a simple mouse click with the victron to get it to accept dirty gen power.
"Accept Wide A/C" toggle in the settings.
Yep, but that's the "standard" tolerance...
Big guns:
Disabling grid tab "UPS mode" also helps. When the inverter can relax how quickly it has to react to lost power, it gets even more tolerance.
Enabling "weak AC input" also helps... limits charge current to about 80% of specified.
This problem [multiple neutral/ground ties] is pervasive on this type of unit. There's a reason the Chargeverter exists.
