multiple SW inverters on a small AC source [RE-wrenches]

[jay peltz]

Hi Hugh,

Should work no problem.  Just make sure you set the AC2 size carefully so
you don't overload it.  Then when the loads on the inverters is larger
than the AC2 input, the inverter will help it.

I'm curious, what type of regulation are you using?  Killer site!
