Just watched a video on the Anker SOLIX X1 home backup unit. Would like to compare it to an EG4 6000XP and an PowerPro battery since the specs are similar. The only feature that the X1 has over the 6000XP is it can push power back on the grid. They want you to give all your information before...

I connected two Surge-Gard SG333 Inrush Limiters in series with the 120V hot lead. The peak inrush current is still pretty high at around 53 Amps. It will still make the 6000XP fault out. I think I might need to go with an "active" soft start instead of just passive resistive style inrush...

Looks like the motor is 1/3 HP. Also, it has a running current of around 6.0 Amps which is around what I measured with a current clamp.

I made sure to have minimal loads running when I tried to start the gas dryer. I measured the inrush current a few times just to make sure it wasn't an erroneous measurement and it is indeed around 57 amps peak. I'm going to build the circuit for the inrush current limiter and report back the...

I have an EG4 6000XP. When I start the gas dryer, the inverter immediately faults out. I measured the inrush current and it is a round 57 Amps peak. Does anybody know of a soft start device that would reduce the inrush current?

I haven't noticed any flickering lights with my 6000XP. I measured the Inverter's AC voltage when testing the AC GRID bypass feature. It actually looks somewhat cleaner than my incoming GRID AC.
