SW stacking question [RE-wrenches]

[Jay Peltz, Peltz Power]

Hi Bob-O,

I'll give you the low down.  Hes already using a hivoltage hydro, 3 phase,
etc.

The problem with these watt counters is they want all the power.

His 3 200 amp diodes get really HOT, so if he can double the output voltage
it'll 1/2 the amps etc etc.

I tell ya its pretty amazing to look at the gauge and see 200 amps going
INTO the batteries!!!

Thanks all.

I am going to take a photo of this system, its a home power classic, name
and location withheld to protect the innocent!!
