Stopped by MS yesterday and got a good look at the Barcelona inside and out! :)
Robin showing Baxter, a MS Engineer, how fast he can remove the cover of a Barcelona!
Thank You, onanparts, for all the pics. 73, Vic
PV1 and PV2?
That suggests that the Barcelona can handle input from two PV arrays. How closely do they need to be matched?

They don't have to match at all except to be within voltage and power specs.
So,
Dual inputs, dual canbus connectors, at least four fan controllers, two Aux ports, multiple jumpers, arc fault, ground fault, quick disconnect, new interface with new programs, BTS, and that is just what we can see. Man I can't wait!
Thanks for the previews.
And it talks.
Looks very promising.
It even looks like the wire inlet / outlet holes line up with the wire attachment points?
Any chance of using ring lugs as a way to attach wires for mobile applications?
Three questions!
1. How much does it weigh?
2. Where are the power MOSFETs hiding?
3. Will they (the MOSFETs) be field serviceable?

QRPer,
No MOSFETs !!
Vacuum tubes !

6L6? Or 12BY7s?

Don't be silly !
Big inverter demands
big tooobs ! 4-1000s !!!!
Can you have an inverter with tubes and still be off grid?

Doug, don't you think you are just a bit biased ! ;)
Clean your plate, plug your grid leaks and poison the I.F. slugs !
I give you a B+ for that reply.

Absolutely! BoB seems well 'grounded'

Here's one of my old ones, rated to 7kW CW @ 30MHz (with forced air)

WoW Ross !
You are showing the tube we will be using for the 3-phase version !

Finally! An inverter that can be tuned and loaded for correct output frequency!
