Inverter Generators kicking off GFI Outlets
I have two GFI outlets one in bathroom controlling bedroom outlets and one in passthrough on the inverter outlets including the residential fridge.
Plugged into shore 50 amp shore power I have no problems at all. Last weekend I was dry camping using either a predator 3500 or a champion 4000ish inverter generators. Using one at a time I had a 30->50a dog bone to my watchdog EMS to my standard 50 amp cable. First time connecting either generator got a fault that neutral not grounded. So I build a grounding plug, 15a 120 plug with neutral connected to ground. Watchdog now happy and passed the power.
So 100° out and I can run either generator, one ac and charge batteries. However after running a while both of my GFI outlets tripped. Bath/bed had nothing turned on. Inverter running bypass mode with fridge kicked off so not cooling!!
At night I had reset both and had my CPAP on bath/bed when after an hour or so it kicked off again!
This happened first with the predator so I switched to the louder champion. Same thing. Just three days earlier I spent 30 hours on shore 50a with both ac running, fridge on inverter in bypass, and my CPAP without any issues.
Any ideas what the issue and fix is? I will be getting a generator to run ac and charge batteries when the solar is not enough but not sure what this is so not sure what generator I need.
