<div dir="ltr" class="">Hello Wrenches,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have a new client that has ran a pretty
decent wood shop for about 10 years on a Magnum 4448.
He's got some large loads, planers, saws, compressors
vacuums etc. They are really nice, heavy duty pieces of
equipment. Amazingly, the Magnum has been able to start
these loads for the most part for 10 years, but he has
reported that it has gotten worse lately (could be a
load issue), brown outs, dimming etc</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">He wants to upgrade the system, get remote
monitoring etc. I tried a test with a Sol-Ark 12, and
it won't start these large motor loads. I was a little
surprised by that but I know they aren't as good as the
low freq transformer based inverters at these surges.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I confirmed that its not just an overload
from imbalance because the 240V loads will also overload
it. I got an inrush measurement of 48.5A Ac @240 (but
it didn't start the load before Sol-Ark would shut
off) </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">What are my options?</div>
<div class="">Schneider XW Pro 6848</div>
<div class="">Outback Radian 8048 (Is this a low freq
device?)</div>
<div class="">Sunny Islands are beasts but weird to work
with and not user friendly</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Any others I should consider? He does have
some significant 120 only loads so I don't think the
Outback vfxr are a good choice.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Is it as simple as saying if the Magnum can
start this load, the Radian should?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I appreciate your input!</div>
