I thought (based a previous thread) that we needed to be concerned with VA output of inverters, not wattage, at least on the transformer based machines like the SW. I realize this wouldn't be an actual load if on grid. In these situations, I just measure DC amps into the inverter to determine the

Wrenches, I recently installed three "ultra -efficient" step up-down transformers on an off grid micro grid project with a 1500' wire run. The grid is powered by a an old SW4024(120v) output, stepped up to 480v, and stepped down to 240v at two locations. I was told by the manufactu
