Xantrex prosine 2000 and Honda 2000 Help

[mholman]

I have a Xantrex Prosine 2000 and am having trouble with the charge function
when batteries are below about 70% SOC using a Honda 2000 generator. I think the inrush current is causing the problem. The generator does not trip but I loose all 120 volt AC to the trailer. It resets and faults again over and over.
If I hook 2 Hondas together for a total of 4000 watts available it works fine and then I can turn one generator off. Sometimes it will work with 1 2000 watt generator but takes a few tries.
I want to be able to use 1 Honda 2000 watt generator to charge batteries.
I think charger pulls too many amps for a few seconds and lowers voltage to a point that the charger senses it and trips off.
again generator never trips from overload.
any help??
thanks

The Honda 2000 only does 13 amps. Dial it down to that.

On the PROSINE there is a setting for "Circuit breaker size"

Try dialing it down to 15 amps.

Can not guarantee. but I do suspect your are correct..


You can also dial down the max current to the batteries (Dial down the AMP: HOURS setting under Battery).

Easy fix. On the inverter panel is a setting for Ac breaker size. Turn that down until the gen will function properly.

I remember mine was about 12 amps. When on shore you can put it back to 30.
