So I just had this thing installed. Plugged in my 4k pure sine wave inverter/charger with automatic switch into the outlet for the 15amp output from the generator.
To my surprise my inverter would not switch over. So I read the voltage coming out of the wall......135v, fluxuates from 130-140v.
I was told when I purchased the unit that it put out Pure Sine Wave power, so the only thing I can think is that my inverter is reading the high voltage and refusing to switch to charging/pass through mode.
Is this normal or is the unit bad? There was a guy here that said his did that and some of his electronics stopped working after only a few days.
Is there a setting that needs to be changed, the shop manager said that its normal to put out 140v but under a load it goes down to 120v...
That seems like its not right, lots of things will burn up quickly at such high voltages....especially electronics...
Any solutions, I can't see keeping the unit if it has this issue.
Maybe a 120v outlet regulator to step the voltage down before it gets to my electronics...seems cheesy...unit is brand new...
Dynasys Generator outlet reading nearly 135-140 volts?!

There's no adjustment on the voltage regulator?
-
Not sure, I'm not going to mess with it because if this doesn't work perfectly I'm having it taken off because I did not pay 11 grand for it not to work perfectly.
I just plugged my UPS into it, its very picky and won't run on modified sine wave power...lo and behold...won't run on this generator.... -
Where did you purchase it from?
-
APUCenter in Stafford, MO - I'm actually in their parking lot doing their overnight "test" to make sure it works as its supposed to, needless to say I'm not a happy camper.
I'm going to give them time to rectify it but there is no excuse for a $11,000 system to be using a cheap modified sine wave generator head...
Otherwise they get to take all this crap right back off...
edit: Just to clarify, I suspect its either a modified sine wave or a really dirty pure sine wave. My inverter charger has a setting to allow for more noisy input so I switched it and it seems to be able to charge with that. I'll update to figure out if the voltage issue is resolved.Last edited: Oct 14, 2020
