There is also a BP-MMP which only fits
the Magnum mini panel and will not add on to the BP-S. If you look on the website you will see the difference in the mounting flange around the edge between the two backplates.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">Gary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Gary Baxter</span></b><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">Product Manager</span></i><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">Magnum | Dimensions<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">2211 West Casino Rd.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">Everett, WA. 98204</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">Office 425.353.8833 | Mobile 425.501.0289 | Fax. 425.353.8390<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:red">Please Note My New Email Address:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:blue"><a href="mailto:gbaxter@sensata.com"><span style="color:blue">gbaxter@sensata.com</span></a></span></u><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#5E5E5E">

<div><p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who has a MS4448 mounted on a single magnum back plate BP-S with an MPSL-30D enclosure. For an expansion to two inverters, is it necessary to pull the installed inverter off, and remount it on a dual backplate (BP-D) or
can I butt another single backplate against the older one? I plan on using a MPXS-30D-R extension box.<o:p></o:p></p>
