low ac charging from the grid [RE-wrenches]

[blair may]

<x-flowed>Hey Jay The voltage drop/wire size problems that would be encountered pose 
a cost problem even @220 vts.Another thing that having a fuse/breaker box 
at the pole is that if batteries were shut off ,when the inverter was 
reconnected  the charge rate would be 30 amps ac(default setting). Unless 
you had a 250 awg @ 110vts and breaker  to anticipate this  then it would 
trip the breaker at the pole unbeknown to the customer.The "AC 1" light 
would blink the customer might think that they are still getting a grid 
charge and possibly have the system shut down due to low batt voltage. Seen 
this situation happen w/ undersized generators and poorly educated 
customers.Where you are its a long trip to reset the parameters.Good $$$ 
long ride!
