Joel,

I believe the package that Steven Engineering developed addresses this
issue.

Subject: Inrush Current on 225 kW Inverter [RE-wrenches]



We have PV system with a Xantrex 225 kW inverter and night-time switch. When
the system wakes up in the morning, the 340A, 480V load inrush current
causes the service panel circuit breaker to trip. The breaker is new and had
no previous problems. All connections are tight. Has anyone come up with a
capacitor or choke or other solution to "soft-start" high inrush current?
