I might argue that the SB7000 is upstream of the SI6048 and really the SI6048 is the point of interconnection, so the SB7000 is irrelevant. And 3 seconds is not really continuous operation.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It seems that batteryless inverters show continuous output ratings, though I know there are some that specify a larger than expected OCP for various reasons, but that is not what the utility cares about.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any insights here? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Erika<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>REpower SOLUTIONS<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>www.repowersolutions.com<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>P: 216.268.2275<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"'>C: 216.402.4458<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
