Sync EU2000i with PSW inverter?

I doubt if this can safely be done, but I do know that the EU2000i will sync with any other Honda EU... inverter generator. I have a 650 watt Xantrex that would be just enough boost to start my 15k air conditioner but I don't want to destroy it.

Just curious to know if there is an EE out there that knows or someone else who has tried it.

  • I would make up and install a five AMP fast blow inline fuse between the 2 units if you are bound and determined to gyro gearloose a trial




    And a 1/4 amp fast blow in the sensing line
  • If I get a really cheap grid tie inverter, I may well try it with some cheap inverters i have, just to know. Especially if I can find one where the manufacturer tells me it is safe to try.

  • I guess the only way to know if the Xantrex PSW will work with the Honda is to try it. So somebody try and let me know.(kidding)

    The Magnums look to all be larger than I would need and expensive. I would just need to boost the 2000 enough to start the air conditioner. I really question if the EU2000i can run the 15k air but I also have a 13.5k, auxiliary unit that I'm sure it would run, once started.

    Hi,

    The new magnum series inverters can do exactly that--be used as a boost unit. There was a thread on them yesterday.

    Here is the thread: Magnum Hybrid Inverter

  • I have always wanted to know this, also. The only Inverter Generator I have seen advertise this is Lifan Power USA Inverter Generators. But, only the 1000, 2000, and 2600 watt versions can be linked to another 1000, 2000, or 2600 and produce 90% of the combined wattage.
