[RE-wrenches] FW250

[Nick Lucchese]

I agree that the FW250 has a few shortcomings however it does work  
out quite well on the AC side. My own system has a FW500 DC and a  
FW250 on the AC side outputting to the existing service panel. It is  
a bit crowded in the FW250 especially with the FW-SP-250 (surge  
protector) however I can honestly say with the pre-made jumpers  
Outback supplies there were no bloody knuckles involved. Also, as far  
as I know Outback is now shipping built up FW250 power panels and I  
believe they've addressed the shunt and negative bus issues. I  
certainly like the E-Panel but the FW250 does have it's place on  
certain systems and should remain as a viable option in a designer's  
bag o' tricks.

Hello Wrenches,

There is a potential customer that purchased some equipment,  
including a FW250 box, that goes on the end of the  VFX inverter.

I've not installed one of these yet.  Looking at the manual, it looks  
extremely tight, especially on the DC side.  Has anyone had  
experience with these?  Is there sufficient wire bending space?


Thanks,
