Hello Wrenches,
I have an off-grid client with a 24V system and an old Xantrex SW4024.
He wants 240VAC capability with enough oomph for sometimes making a cut
with his 3 hp table saw without starting the generator.
I am looking at Apollo, Magnum, and Outback inverters. I'm most familiar
with Outback. I have a couple of installations out there with stacked
3.6 kW Outbacks.
However, the Apollo marketing promises that their 3.2 kW inverter will
start a 3 hp motor. Will it actually, and is this a good idea even if it
can?
I'd appreciate hearing about your experiences with 240V Apollo units,
stacked Magnums, and stacked Outbacks. I know from experience that the
Outbacks require some hundreds of dollars of extra fittings and
electronics to make a proper stacked installation. How about Magnum? Any
comments on reliability?
Many Thanks,
Hilton
