people to run their hoses where their grounds are....or plug their grounds into
their drainfields, whatever works (or attach to well casings, as you all
know).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

an educational note dan, can you further detail the lightning protection
equipment which was incorporated into the system? specifically if spd's
were in the system? i have installed several midnight spd's and am curious
how they do in real world situations like this.</P>

Wrenches,<BR>> <BR>> My apologies for an error. When I was given
information about the<BR>> lightning-damaged equipment a few days ago, my
friend was understandably a bit<BR>> rattled after a direct lightning hit to
his home, and inadvertently provided<BR>> incorrect model numbers for the
Outback charge controllers. The correct models<BR>> are listed below. (As an
added update, almost everything electrical in his home<BR>> was destroyed. He
said wall cubes for his router and weather stations "exploded",<BR>> with
only small pieces scattered around to be swept up.)<BR>> <BR>> Thank
you.<BR>> <BR>> Dan<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> A friend of mine
experienced the destruction of major parts of his system in a<BR>> recent
lightning storm. Everything was extensively grounded and protected, but
he<BR>> lives in an area with very high soil resistivity, so good earth
ground is very<BR>> difficult to achieve. (The lightning hit his wind turbine
tower directly. <BR>> Remarkably, his Bergey 10 kW survived, but everything
else in his system got<BR>> fried.)<BR>> <BR>> He's looking
for:<BR>> <BR>> * Two Xantrex XW6048-120/240-60 inverters. They are beyond
repair.<BR>> * One Outback FX60<BR>> * One Outback FX80<BR>> <BR>>
New-old stock or used but in good working condition units are preferred.
(No<BR>> failed/repaired units please.)<BR>> <BR>> If anyone has any of
these units available, or you know of any that are available,<BR>> please
contact me off-list.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Thank you.<BR>> <BR>>
