You might want to read what you wrote. I think there is something wrong.

sorry for the confusing post. converter cycles on and off. stays off several minures and switches back on for about 5 seconds. this is happening while on a no/minimal load situation.

Make and model of converter? Does it do this on shore power or just generator power?

Check the frequency of the gen set power --- should be 60-62 Hz.
