<br>
I have an off-grid client with a 24V system and an old Xantrex
SW4024. He wants 240VAC capability with enough oomph for sometimes
making a cut with his 3 hp table saw without starting the
generator.<br>
<br>
I am looking at Apollo, Magnum, and Outback inverters. I'm most
familiar with Outback. I have a couple of installations out there
with stacked 3.6 kW Outbacks.<br>
<br>
However, the Apollo marketing promises that their 3.2 kW inverter
will start a 3 hp motor. Will it actually, and is this a good idea
even if it can?<br>
<br>
I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences with 240V Apollo
units, stacked Magnums, and stacked Outbacks. I know from
experience that the Outbacks require some hundreds of dollars of
extra fittings and electronics to make a proper stacked
installation. How about Magnum? Any comments on reliability?<br>
<br>
Many Thanks,<br>
<br>
Hilton <br>
