  If your Generac Power Systems Inverter isn't providing AC output, first ensure the main line circuit breaker (MLCB), also known as the generator disconnect, is in the ON (CLOSED) position. If it's OFF (OPEN), reset it. Also, the engine may be warming up, so check the controller screen to verify its status.
