<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Jay;<br>
<br>
I saw their new MagnaSine Hybrid with load support. The way the
load support works, sounds like it could work with a GT inverter,
look at this little tid bit from their home page: <br>
"<font face="Verdana"><span class="style328"><span
class="style327">The new MSH models add a "Load Support"
feature, which allows<font color="#ff0000"> incoming AC to
synchronize with the inverter's output</font> and uses
additional power from the batteries to power loads.<br>
<br>
</span></span></font>That sounds lie AC coupling; what other
AC input source could synchronize with the magnum's output?
However, no where can I find it actually saying it can be AC
coupled though. I looked through the manuals,etc. Do you happen
to have a link to Magnum's AC coupled info that you mentioned?
I'm guessing it was with the older MS series AE 120/240 VAC?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<pre wrap="">The Outback rep got me some good info, and I'm liking the Radian with the Remote controlled breaker to control the GT inverter when the grid is out. I've heard of quite a few problems related to the Sunny Island frequency controlled system.
My question is can off grid inverters like the Magnum be AC coupled? I'm trying to get the price down, and still handle the 240 vac input from the GT inverter.
I penciled out the Radian and I was topping $10k before installation. This customer is hoping for a solution under $10k, and closer to $5k if possible. I think an elegant lower cost solution for Grid tie with battery back up is in order. A Radian Lite?
For backup, it could even be mod sine, as it wouldn't be much worse than generator power or the average UPS setup.
