Inverter for home + recording studio [RE-wrenches]

[Steve Willey, Backwoods Solar]

We had a Trace SW2512 that would dump a computer when a worm drive saw was
started.  I added 250 watt Exeltech to power the computers and they STILL
dumped when saw was started on the Trace.  I discovered the Trace was
kicking back high voltage spikes to the battery and tripping Exeltech high
voltage cut off at 19 volts. Chokes on DC line to Exeltech cured it.
