Karcher Pressure Washer

Karcher 601c eco

Inverter RS Smart 48/6000 (90+Kwh of battery + 20+Kwh of solar)

Hyundai 18kW/22.5kVA Single Phase Diesel Generator | DHY18KSEm

Hi does anyone have experience with Karcher Pressure Washer ?

The problem i have is when i start the Karcher the Inverter RS Smart 48/6000 trips and say "Error Code: #52 - Inverter excessive current", works on the Genny. Is there any way to "soft start" the Karcher or i am just limited to running it just on Genny?

Any comments or thoughts welcome.

Thanks.

I have a MultiPlus-II 24/5000 with 70,5kWh of SOPzS batteries and can use the Kärcher K3 without any problems.


However, since the MultiPlus-II use a Toridial Transformator, switching on the K3 let make the Metal Housing of the MultiPlus-II a loud plong!

Try to use a very long (>=50m) extension cable.
I've an old angle grinder without soft start, which I only can start when I use such a long extension cable.

In my case it's an inrush current issue. With the long cable I've a bit mor resistance which limits the inrush.

For continuous operation, but do not leave the cable on the cable drum.
