That came from nowhere, y'all been hiding that one real well. Another unit for me to test it's limitations? I got a 350A welder with few other toys to send it over the edge along with perfect temperatures that can't be tested in your test chamber come winter.
I can easily send it over the 600V and see how far to 200% surge it can take.

Thank you Weldman !

It is in the final strides of being perfected now and getting real close !

boB,  a quick scan of the specs..... does it have bypass switching so you can take it off-line for repairs?

For the few that could actually repair one for what might go wrong with one, I see it as counterintuitive in added price to add such feature.
Especially with a 10 year warranty.

I bypass my Rosie inverter all the time. When the batteries hit 80%, I disconnect and fall back onto the grid. I'm not sure with Rosie, but when I was running the Trace SW5548, if the inverter shut down for low batteries, you lost all AC pass through. Trace offered at the time an instruction sheet to build your own bypass switch made out of square D pieces parts.

Without some way of routing AC around the inverter, you were in the dark as the inverter would not pass AC when off.

For the Trace (SW 5548s),  and the Xantrex (SW+ 5548s),  the Bypass switch was in the AC Conduit boxes  --  generally

Many MidNite e-panels have Inverter Bypass switches (breakers).

FWIW,  IMO,  etc,    Vic

The addition you would want is the Rosie BB or breaker box which has the bypass etc.  The Rosie E-Panel

"Neutral To Ground Bong Switching Internally"

Bong switching?  Something really west coast sounding there.  Chill.  :)

Either way I want to test the "One" out. I don't have the luxury of falling back to grid power to use the breaker "bypass switch" that is on my e-panel on the Rosie. It's generator or we are going down in power in the middle of a deep freeze. Better hope propane tank is full and the heater is operational.

What will the price be?
