I have an 18K EG4 Inverter that occasionally will produce hum in my breaker panel.

I have isolated and recorded some data showing volts, amps, frequency, PF, watts....

The data was recorded on legs 1 and 2 connected  to the last two breakers in the panel.

The inverter was basically in what i consider an idle mode, not charging the battery or back feeding.

When the hum starts it goes thru a cycle similar to two frequencies out of phase. Meaning

the sound gets louder and the softens up.  This didn't last for a long time maybe 10 minutes.

I hope this makes it to the techs at EG4.  I didn't hook up an oscilloscope to check my phase theory yet.

Pay attention to the PF and Amp readings.
