Effect of low load power Factor on Inverter-Generator Integration

One of the loads connected to a 3 phase 15kVa Quattro inverters has a low load power factor (as low as 0.5). When this load is connected the integrated diesel generator's output is ignored by the inverters. However the load appears not to affect the generator output (values are within threshold). How can we solve this?

Hi G. I'm guessing somewhat with such a low PF (and 3 phase). But a start point would be here:

The ultimate 'Weak AC Input' function I need to use myself.. I've felt your pain, just with the generator and no PF considerations.
