Generator Use with an EMS
I have a champion 3100 Inverter genny and also a PI 30A external EMS. Am I correct in remembering reading that I should NOT use the EMS with an inverter Generator?

One of the nice things about Inverter generators is they monitor their output rather well (At least the better ones do) if they are "out of spec" they shut off. Duplicating the function of the EMS
So.. You can use it.. But no need since the primary functions are already served.
Same I might add is true of ONAN traditional generators (The make I have in my A, I do not know about other brands but suspect the top end ones are all alike in this manner.. The Onan, if power out goes out of range for too long (Brief low frequency/voltage wont' bother it) shuts the engine off and flashes an error code.. I mean if you are not making 120vac,, why burn gas?
