I've got 2 Outback related questions while were at:
1) Can you stack three inverters with a transformer for 3 wire single phase 
220? ( a customer wanted to save some money)
2) What is the maximum pump HP that can be run with a pair of Outback VFX 
3648s. I have two customers each with deep well 3 Hp submersibles.
My Franklin motor book shows for a 3 HP pump a maximum current of 17Amps 
(230v) but a locked rotor current of 83 amps, meanwhile their suggested 
breaker size is 40 amps. The Outback 1Ms surge is 70 amps, the 100Ms surge 
is 50 amps, the 5 sec surge is 41.6 amps. Sure seems like a pair of the 
Outbacks would run a 3 Hp pump, but could overload occasionally with other 
loads on.
I've run a 2 Hp pump with a single DR 3624 and T240 transformer, although I 
advised the customer to use it for emergencies only.
Any real experience with Outbacks out there?

Thanks beforehand,

Ray Walters
