Hey There Wrenches,
So be advised that after a little research the SW dual stack will NOT
double the surge ratings of a single SW.
But that brings me to my second question:
What inverter surge rating should one refer to when looking at maximum
Inrush or LRA - 1ms? 100ms? 1 sec?
Yourengineering wisdom welcomed!
Thanks,
Jeff

Thanks for the tip! I'll check the firmware.

Hi Jeff,
I am not going to guess if this will work, it should. I use XW's
because they start anything I have come across.
If you do this, make sure but SW's have the latest and same firmware.
There were problems with stacked SW's early on in their development.

Hey Esteemed Wrenches,
So I recently built a power trailer with a single 4 KW (4048)
Schneider SW for a client with a moderate cabin lifestyle.
But he lives on a high hill and even though his 2 HP Macerator is
only rated at 15 amps continuous that baby starts up with a whopping
kick - probably close to or at it's 53 Amps Locked Rotor rating.
The SW has the following surge capability:
SW 4048 Rated@ 240 Volts:
Continuous - 15.2 Amps 3700 Watts
30 Minutes - 18.3 Amps 4400 Watts
5 Secs - 29.2 Amps 7000 Watts
Max (100ms?) - 41 Amps - 9840 Watts
Can I be confidant that 2 stacked SWs will start this baby?
Any experience with similar macerators - or simply educated guesses?
Thanks!
Jeff
