2.7.1 Generator system connection
The SNA series can use a generator for backup power during grid failures. When selecting a generator,
ensure it provides sufficient power and maintains a frequency with a Total Harmonic Distortion (THD)
of less than 3%. As a general guideline, the generator should be at least 1.5 times the inverter's output
to accommodate both load powering and battery charging. The table below lists the recommended
generator capacities for optimal performance.

BATTERY
When properly wired and configured, the generator, if compatible with remote start, will start
automatically when the battery voltage / SOC is lower than the cut-off value or there is a charge
request from the BMS. When the generator is running, it will charge the batteries and excess AC power
will be diverted to the AC output (LOAD) to power loads.
