Hi folks, my Multiplus II 24/3000/70 is not charging when I try to charge with a generator. I would be very happy to get a hint on what I am doing wrong here. The inverter is working.
A video of the behavior when I switch from charger/inverter to charger only to force it to start can be seen here:
That is what the Cerbo GX is showing, while the generator is running:
And the solution was to add a load to the generator to prevent it from dropping voltage or frequency. I could even revert to default all the settings like Dynamic current limiter, UPS function and Weak AC Input and it was still starting/running.
The forums’s recommendation system did it’s magic in the end.
So first I got this thread:
Which led me to the very helpful Multiplus Generator FAQ
Which states:
Some generators will alter their voltage or frequency when loads change. This can be significant if the generator goes from no-load to full-load quickly. It can help to have a small ‘stabilising’ resistive load such as a 75W light globe smooth out this start up voltage/frequency variation.
