<DIV>Hilton,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> Others on this list have far more
experience in this matter than I. However, I think the 4024 with a
transformer should start and run that motor. The 4024 has a powerful surge
AND it's not like your trying to start a submersible well pump motor...a
tablesaw motor ramps up and starts unloaded. Save a bunch of money and use
the Xanthrax. Another way to cheat this inverter to do this particular
task is to run a sharp, thin kerf 10" blade instead of the regular 12" blade (or
8" vs. 10")...big difference.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I'll bet my .02 worth this would
work.</DIV>

stack? Off-grid 240V</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">Hello
Wrenches,<BR><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></FONT><PRE class=moz-signature cols="72">--
