time2roll this is exactly what I am doing, the 15A cord goes in to the generator which powers the inverter and charger.do the load sharing happen automatically and I don’t have to do anything?
Thanks Frank.
However amps, watts and VA are all different things depending on what the load is. The generator overload is based on VA and needs to have some headroom to provide the additional apparent power required due to power factor. This may require the amps to be reduced 20% to 30% below the rating for the generator not to overload. Have you tried 12 amps? If it works try 13 amps the next day, then 14 and see what goes.
Member pianotuna has this inverter and says it works as described.
