[RE-wrenches] offgrid system question

[Phil Undercuffler]

The XW6048 is rated at 52 amps RMS line to line between 5 seconds down
to 1 millisecond, so if your client's AC has a starting inrush surge of
104 amps at 240v, then yep, I think your biggest problem is not enough
inverter.  Sounds like just one additional inverter will be marginal;
depending upon the additional background loads you may want to consider
expanding to three total.  I think Mick Abraham is right on here, in his
earlier post.

You're right Mick, It is an XW 6048, there's only one and I really think
I'm going to find that the biggest problem is that there is not enough
inverter capacity capacity with just one unit (the scematic shows a 60
amp breaker on the output). The system is new ( installed within the
last 4 months and the batteries were new) The AC unit is 240 volt.....
