I recently installed a Xantrex Freedom Xi 2000 watt inverter. The inverter works fine
When converting 12v dc to 120 ac. The problem I am having is related to the internal transfer relay.
When I am connected to Shore power (plugged in at home) the inverter automatically stops inverting and
Passes through shore power. On the remote display the light switches from yellow to solid green
To show that it?s using shore power. When i unplug shore power the inverter automatically switches back and starts inverting. But, if I start my generator (onan 4000) for shore power the inverter keeps inverting and acts like it does not see the 120v and will never switch to shore power. The light stays yellow and will never switch to green. I have verified there is 120v AC on the input when the generator is running. So i don?t understand why it works perfectly using AC from power grid but does not work when using generator. Here is the kicker, if I turn my air conditioner on then all of a sudden the inverter will switch to shore power. But I verified with a multimeter that the voltage is stable at 120v. Any ideas?
