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><br></div><div>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><br></div><div>I confirmed that its not just an overload from imbalance because the 240V loads will also overload it.
