    I bought 2 new Magnum 2812 inverters 4 years ago, I really don’t want to scrap them.

    October 9, 2024 at 8:05 am in reply to: Generator Fuel Average

    I ran a 20KW for 170 hours after filling the bus fuel tank 2 miles away. At the end of the 170 hours I refueled at the same gas station at the same pump and took on 71 gallons. It was July weather in Oshkosh and I ran 2 A/C units continuously as well as refrigerator, water heater, and any other typical loads such as several hours of TV per day, the grill or cooktop, and phantom, loads.

    That worked out to less than .5 GPH.

    I have since rechecked consumption but on shorter periods of use at times when I could isolate refueling to just generator usage and the fuel burn stays around .5 GPH. Until your generator fuel consumption can be verified use higher consumption rates to be safe.

    Hi

    I have no idea what you are reading or using to get your info, but, according to the AWG chart it should be 4 ga copper for this application. Application is the key.

    Does everything work & display correctly when running on shore power?

    Did you verify that the inverter bypass switch did not get thrown accidentally ( I had that happen to me when loading out the bay where they are located)

    Using a voltage meter, did you check the ac2 input lines for 120 volts on the inverter?

    Update:

    – checked the regulator and connections = tight, reset both breakers, manually and remote started the gen, no issues.

    – remote inverters display show on Inv 1 = 119V and Inv 2 = 0 and no charging

    – remote Marathon display on dash shows both Inv 1 and 2 at 119V with amps consumption on Inv 1 and 0 amps consumption on Inv 2.

    Breakers should be good but tried to source couple with no luck, here are the numbers:

    Top – IULHK11-224-14, 15 Amps, 250V, 50/60HZ, Delay 62, Trip 18.8Amps

    Bottom – IALHK11-224-30, 80Amps, 240V, 50/60HZ, Delay 62

    Not sure why the Marathon will show a charge but not the inverters?

    Any additional input on this is appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Disconnect the 12V from the monitor. The balance light should come on to prove all is working.

    Hard to say where this came from, just carry spare filters with you and change them as needed. I would run the tank down as low as you can the refuel. It is not worth going to all the extra efforts needed to keep your fuel pristine, then fill up with bad fuel in the next tank.

    Got a good laugh out of your wife’s shoes. Brings back memories of my childhood, when my dad took us camping my mother was always collecting ROCKS to bring home. As an adult it reminiscent of the old movie (The Long Long Trailer with Lucille Ball).

    Same thing here, and also our internal weight adjustment valve failed. I just blocked it off, and temporarily spliced in a schrader air valve with a push on connection, then filled it with an air pump. It takes a little adjustment to get the pressure set based upon the driver’s weight.
