an unusual charging problem
Hi all, I'm generator charging from need for the first time in my life. It is not hot enough to run the roof air. Here is a bit about the system. Magnum 3000 Hybrid 12 volt to 120 volt with A...

I don't understand PT's set-up at all. but perhaps he can actually get his batteries charged without all this power sharing stuff the Magnum does if he just splits his battery bank when doing a recharge, and does half at a time where the charger can do its full rated amps?
I doubt it is a generator limitation. I can charge at 155 amps with my Honda 3000 using a PF corrected 100 and a non-PF corrected 55 both set at 14.8v.
PT is doing something weird! :)
His magnum inverter charger is doing something weird
And I think it is in the Yamaha output wave form
The magnum thinks there is something wrong with it and is limiting power
Maybe the peaks are too high?
When he adds load to the power from the generator the wave form changes (lower peaks?) And the magnum kicks on and charges the batteries
It would be handy if he could test this with some other generator
Maybe then a/c on low instead of the WH , then switch to fan mode? After the magnum kicks into charge
Find out how much load is needed to condition the voltage so the magnum accepts it
