Inverter

Postby A Lee » June 17th, 2019, 3:45 pm

The charge side of inverter is not operative while on generator power. The charge side works while on shore power. The only obvious difference is that the shore power is through a power isolator. I am wondering if the inverter is sensitive to the exact voltage being supplied? Any thoughts/advice would be appreciated.
