Has anyone else had this problem. I wasn't even going to check this but...
I have just purchased a 4000W/3500W genset. I am running 240V into a GenTran transfer switch to six circuits in my home. At no load, my frequency is at about 61Hz. However, the second that I begin to add any significant load (e.g. ceiling fan) the frequency drops to 49Hz sharply and then fluctuates between 49Hz and 54Hz. The voltage holds steady with absolutely no drop and the engine makes no noticeable difference in RPMs. Any thoughts?
On perhaps a related note, as soon as I switch to the Genset, one of my circuits that is an arc-fault breaker trips, not allowing the circuit to be powered. This did not happen with my previous generator using the same transfer switch.
