Outback 3048 with turbo [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Mt. Shasta Energy Services]

Kieth,

I have an off grid VFX3648 out in the field and the customer reports it 
occasionally faults starting their 1 HP well pump, so I feel this is 
pushing the limit of the inverter. There is NO WAY a single (or even 
stacked double) inverter will start a 3 HP well pump unless it is a no 
surge pump like Grundfos makes.
