[RE-wrenches] Xfmr's job?

HI Dave and everyone,

Its interesting because there is a great deal of difference between OEM’s.

Outback says 4kw at 120v for 8kw radian. ( tech support)

Magnum says 27 amps at 120v, 16.7 amps at 240 for MS4024PAE ( from the manual)

Schneider  says 4200 watts at 120v on XW-6848 ( from the manual)

Also I know that the Magnum allows you to charge with just 120v and I think the XW is the same, OB 
you have to have 240v.

Cheers

jay
