<font face="arial" size="3"><p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt;">on 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>

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 />> <br />> Dan Lepinski<br />> <br />> <br />> _______________________________________________<br />> List sponsored by Redwood Alliance<br />> <br />> List Address: RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org<br />> <br />> Change listserver email address & settings:<br />> http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org<br />> <br />> List-Archive:<br />> http://www.mail-archive.com/re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org/maillist.html<br />> <br />> List rules & etiquette:<br />> www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm<br />> <br />> Check out or update participant bios:<br />> www.members.re-wrenches.org<br />> <br />> </p>
