Wrenches,

I have had good luck with an H80 here in Southern CO.  Also have taken down
some and put H40's in there place!

As far as Bergey, I agree, there has been excellent customer support from
them. We are having problems now with Bergey's Xl.1 controller. They
supplied a circuit breaker to prevent stator burn out. Anyone had that
happen?
After installing the breaker in two of the three XL.1's I have up, there are
a lot of nuisance trips. I think the fix is a dump load, not the breaker, as
I have one unit that now has a dump load and no more breaker trips.
Bergey has now sent me a new (3rd) controller for one to try. I guess the
engineers have does some tuning and timing for the breaker trip point?
Overall, I am satisfied with Bergey. SWWP? not quite.

The problem is getting parts for these older machines now that SWWP has
"improved"
them and does not support the previous design.
