SW5548 interference again [RE-wrenches]

[Christopher Freitas --- OutBack Power]

Keith - 

You might try larger motor run capacitors - I've put as large as 50uF 
caps on SWs in the past to eliminate problems - and it works - but the 
idle power consumption of each SW will increase to around 50 watts if I 
remember correctly.  The capacitors should be wired across each inverter 
(neu-hot) not across the 240 VAC output for the best results.  Be sure 
to disable the search mode when adding the big caps as its not usuable 
with them on there - you'll get a real disco effect on the whole house.

There are a few other tricks you can try - but this should work for 
you...
