It seems counter intuitive to use an inverter to invert DC power into AC when the generator is operating and providing AC current.

Pardon my ignorance about inverters -- but inquisitive minds would like to know.
That could be the problem: The auto crossover switch isn't working correctly and allowing the inverter to run with the genny thereby destroying the inverter.
