half of our situations. The other half is that we do capacity recovery of

battery chargers</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>I've been through this one, to balance the third leg of a 3
phase generator which has a pair of stacked SW4024s on it. After a long
search of the available industrial chargers, we added another SW4024.
The system had certain heavy surge loads, which we put on a special panel
powered by the third inverter.<BR><BR>For the money, I think another
inverter is the best bet. Maybe Chinese imports may change the
situation, but if you want to stay away from them, another inverter would
likely still be your most economical choice. <BR><BR>At 06:13 PM 12/27/2010,
