Hi Ray,

This voltage sag does sound higher than we would expect from this load. I
will get someone from tech support to contact you directly so we can better
track down what may be going on.

Thanks

Mark

I'm responding to my own message... gets lonely here in the desert...
Actually I am reporting back to the group that I did in fact change out the 
2/0 cable for 4/0 on this 2500 watt 24 volt SW+ inverter. Previous AC 
voltage sagged to 89 VAC, now with 4/0 on the DC side the VAC sags to 89 v. 
That's right, nooo difference. But now my customer has some monster copper 
in there, so we can all dance a happy little dance, twiddle our diddles, 
and sleep better at night.....
I'd like some real info on this voltage sag from Xantrex . I tested a Honda 
EB3500( not an inverter generator, just a regular medium quality unit) and 
under the same load it didn't sag below 115 VAC. (I figured it would)
Lights flickering off, and UPS units switching on every time the fridge(or 
any inductive load) comes on is NOT going to sell anymore SW+s around here 
at least.
Also, I was wondering what any of the Xantrex certified dealers thought. Is 
the certification worth taking another test AND paying several hundred 
dollars?  I'm curious.....
