Need Help with Inverter and Generator Power Quality Issues

0
Asked By SolarRanger77 On

I've got a solar inverter that also connects to a 120V input in my RV, which I usually keep plugged into my generator. I recently tested it out for the first time, and my 3-D printer—being the most modern device I have—told me that it's receiving "dirty power," with fluctuations in both frequency and voltage. I assumed the inverter would clean that up for me, but it seems like it's just passing the incoming power directly. Does anyone know of a 30A device that can condition the line power to ensure it's clean? I want something that not only conditions but also surge-protects and shuts off if the power goes way out of whack. When I search online, I mostly find just basic surge protectors and nothing more advanced. Alternatively, I guess I could just run the generator with basic appliances until it's more stable, but I want to make sure everything gets proper, clean power.

It sounds like you're looking for an inverter with a generator assist feature. Brands like Victron and Magnum are great options for RV setups—they help provide consistent 120V output regardless of what power you're using. Definitely worth checking out!

I had a similar issue, and the Victron has worked wonders for me. It stabilizes the output really well.
