The above works, if all equip is working as designed. You want the autoformer pre-PI EMS so the autoformer can boost voltage and the EMS only shuts it down when the autoformer cannot get voltage up. Been doing this way for years.

As other have said, it really sounds like a shore pole problem. Be interested in your testing om another source and with each device solo.

Do you also have an ATS?
