No angry words to you... Remember, I used to work the 3 phase side of
the biz. One thing to watch out for: If you have any Delta (open or
closed) system with a center tapped or corner ground, you may have
grounding problems with a 3 phase inverter. You will probably need an
isolation transformer between the inverter and the grounded Delta system
because of the ground loops caused by the grounded PV array. I've seen
many inverters go boom because of this. One more reason to dump the
grounded PV requirement.
