UL Listing versus CSA listing status (was on grid battery...) [RE-wrenches]

[Ezra Auerbach, Xantrex]

All,

For all those inspectors who are still smarting over loosing hockey gold to
Canada and thus might not like CSA  I'm pleased to add the clarification
that the SW and GTI are also recognized by UL.  I just received a copy of
Xantrex' Authorization to Apply the UL Mark to SW Series II inverters with
GTI.  File numbers for the authorization are E187916 and E193256.

So now the SW Series II and GTI are twice inspected, tested and approved to
UL 1741 standards.

Cheers,

Ezra Auerbach
