Hello All, a local shop is installing my Xantrex freedom pure sine wave 2000 W inverter. Today I stopped by to see how they were making out, turns out the inverter appears to be overly sensitive to the generator RPM's so that it shuts down. I was under the impression from the feedback I received here on the forum that this is a good inverter for use in the GMC motorhome.

Has anybody else experienced this issue and if so how did you overcome it?

I don't really understand the technical side of the issue, however, it appears the problem resides with making the generator voltage more consistent which may be causing the inverter to shut down when it recognizes spikes or a drop in the Hz spectrum, does this make sense?

I have what I believe is the original Onan 6000 W generator, 1975 Royale by Coachmen.

As always your opinions are appreciated,
Regards,
Mike
