That's interesting. I lived off grid for 7 years with a single 
MS4024PAE. I had one overload shut down in all that time. Microwave 
(1200 watts @ 120) + well pump (1700 watts @ 240) + vacuum cleaner (1400 
watts @ 120) + house loads (200 watts @ 120) + I'm guessing fridge 
compressor kicked in (600 watts? @ 120). Never had any issues with air 
compressors, shop tools, 240 volt MIG welder, or anything else.

I have never had a failure with any MS inverter or ARC or AGS that I've 
installed. I had one BMK fail after 5 years, but that was during a 
lightning storm.
