For gen techs
I'm running my 50A rv service with a Honda EU6500 connected to the 30A 240V receptacle. Everything works fine. My question is, would long term durability be improved if I switched to the110V only sett...
Chris Bryant wrote:That's what I would have thought, but a look at the wiring diagram reveals that the eu6500i has dual 3-phase windings, feeding separate inverters contained in a single physical module. The windings and inverter outputs are identified as "M" and "S", which could mean "master" and "slave". I've noticed a couple reports of eu-series inverter failure over the years, but they are extremely rare.
Keep in mind the generator is a 3 phase which is, I believe, rectified to do, then run through the inverter, so the load on the generator is the same either way, instead of load on windings, it will be load on inverter. That said, it would probably be easier on the inverter, but I've never heard of a Honda EU series inverter failure.
