Need help selecting an inverter [RE-wrenches]

[Darryl Thayer]

Hello to all
And thanks for the help
When I asked this back in September, I had a 2 stacked
SW5548 inverter system that would not reliable start a
large pump. (kicked out on overload) Many replied that
I needed an Outback three stack or four inverter
stack.  

The back ground load was from 2 to 25 amps When the
pump started the pump surge was 130 amps on grid, and
30 amps running. The pump runs less than a minute.  

Success! I installed a Outback Quad stack, VFX3648 the
installation looks good and functions perfectly.  I
started the pump from several conditions, never failed
once. The amazing thing to me is to see the system
with one inverter running, the 7 hp pump start and the
system immedatly has all four inverters running.  

One strange thing, the surge on line power is 130
amps, by my peak hold greenlee clamp on.  When I start
from the inverters the peak hold is only 100 amps? 
strange because you can not tell the difference in the
pump starting!
Thanks to all
Daryl
