I have been reading these forums for the past couple days as I am having issues charging my batteries from a generator through the Context 6848.
I am not grid tied at all, completely off grid.
Using a 10kw Champion Generator.
I have 2 MPPT 80 Schneider charge controllers, this is all working well.
Had issues getting it to qualify, but noticed my frequency was out of range at 72Hz, so I hooked up a 1,500watt heater to the generator and that brought the hz to qualify. Using AC2, and selected AC2 as priority input. Turned my charging amps to 25 amps, and breaker size to 40 amps. This causes the XW to switch to the generator but it makes a loud humming sound from the inverter XWPro, and seems to pulsate, if I go higher than 25 amps, it'll run for about 5 minutes and then kick out back to batteries.
I'm starting to think generator issue? Has anyone experienced this, or should I try any other settings in the XWPro 6848.
If I have missed any details, I apologies.
Thank you in advance.
