Need generator expert

[David M]

Barely a year old and as far as I can tell always been this way. When I installed it last May we had decent sun so little use for a couple of months. Was also working on a couple of outback issues, getting Mate3 replaced, eventually replaced an inverter (FX3048T) so when I did notice something awry, like tripped FX240 breaker or microwave not happy, I was quick to blame the Outback. One day, I just happened to be cycling through the DSE7220 display and noticed the L1-L-2 imbalance. That led me to pulling out the Fluke 117 meter and start checking. When I first notified the generator builder they immediately suspected the Outback. These last few months have been spent making sure the Outback is good. yesterday I completely rewired the AC side just for my own peace of mind.
Last month, the generator guy was vacationing in Kona, came and took a look. Verified the windings were wired as expected, gave me a new AVR, but basically left without a solution. He was brought up to date with my conversation with Outback Tech. He also witnessed the system hooked to the Ridgid 8000 with no imbalance.
It is a Single phase, parallel zig zag pattern.
I have pics and more info on the Outback Forum : http://www.punaweb.org/Forum/topic.asp?whichpage=0.866666666666667&TOPIC_ID=20878#214468
