[pvusers] Neptune Washer & SW-Series

["Mongo" <mongo@nortexinfo.net>]

Does anyone else out there use a Maytag Neptune Washer
with a SW40xx series inverter?

We've blown multiple contol boards in the washing machine.
The maintenance man said we should have a surge suppressor
add at the outlet for it.  But I looked at the control board and
there are 2 MOV's on it already.

I'm not going to have the glitches that may be present on grid power.
-or- will I?

What I was pondering is "perhaps" there is a glitch when the
generator kicks off (we have auto-start gennie back-up).  And
the SW40xx does not disconnect from the gennie as clean
as I'd like (lights to flicker).

There also is occasionally a light flicker when the water pump kicks
in.  And I suppose (duh!) this does happen frequently while the
washing machine fills up.

Any thoughts?.........
