ongoing generator issue
I had some problems with my generator but just had a new control panel and interface installed by a certified dealer. It is now running fine but it trips when my RV A/C compressor kicks on. Gen shop...

Found the problem and gen is fixed. Here is an F.Y.I. - for anyone's future reference:
The Yamaha EF6300isde has a switch that either supplies full current/amps to the 110, twenty amp outlets and the 110 thirty amp outlet when in 120 only mode. It "splits" power, when it is moved to the 120/240 mode, between those outlets and the 240 volt outlet. The switch was in 120 mode only however some internal corrosion did not allow it to actually switch over. The 110 volt outlets and the 30 amp outlet were only producing about 22 amps. Not enough to start A/C thus the gen went into default. Another switch was not readily available so I took out the one in the gen, cleaned and refurbished the switch, tested it, and got constant continuity on either pole. I then re-installed the switch and A/C started up with no problem. In addition, with A/C compressor on, I was able to run microwave and a coffee pot at the same time and still had a little room to spare. With switch operating correctly in the 120 only mode the 20 and 30 amp outlets are capable of producing about 45.8 continuous amps and 52.5 start up amps.
What a learning experience for me. I hope this explanation will assist someone else in the future.
