Which is the reason for the sine wave Xantrex.
Rob, look for a bad ground or V+ on the Xantrex. I have no problem starting just about anything through the Xantrex. After the install, I tested mine with a pair of resistive space heaters that draw 1kw each on a low setting. It ran just fine for 20 minutes. You can check the current draw and voltage on the Xantrex remote.
