AC tripping generator

I'm fairly sure I had the battery in the on position when I tried it off shore. I'll have to double check that test because that does sort of make sense. The way I recreate the issue is by short cycling it. If I turn it off and back on within a minute or so it will trip almost every time. So if the DC circuit cuts off supply to the AC and then sends power again from the surge it would short cycle it as well.

My soft start gets here today so I'll update on if that solves the issue and include the battery in on the test.
