There is also a BP-MMP which only fits the Magnum mini panel and will not add on to the BP-S. If you look on the website you will see the difference in the mounting flange around the edge between the two backplates. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Gary > > > > > > > > *> > > >* *> > > > Gary Baxter* *> > > >* *> > > > Product Manager* > > > > > > > > Magnum | Dimensions > > > > > > > > 2211 West Casino Rd. > > > > > > > > Everett, WA. 98204 > > > > > > > > Office 425.353.8833 | Mobile 425.501.0289 | Fax. 425.353.8390 > > > > > > > > *> > > >* *> > > > Please Note My New Email Address:* > > > > > > > > *> > > > <gbax...@sensata.com>* *> > > > gbax...@sensata.com <gbax...@sensata.com>* | www.magnumenergy.com > > > > > > > > *> > > >* *> > > > A Sensata Technologies Business Unit* > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > *> > > >* *> > > > From:* RE-wrenches [mailto: re-wrenches-boun...@lists.re-wrenches.org]* On Behalf Of* Mac Lewis *> > > > Sent:* Saturday, December 06, 2014 5:41 AM *> > > > To:* RE-wrenches *> > > > Subject:* [RE-wrenches] Magnum Back Plates > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Hello wrenches, > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > I have a client who has a MS4448 mounted on a single magnum back plate BP-S with an MPSL-30D enclosure. For an expansion to two inverters, is it necessary to pull the installed inverter off, and remount it on a dual backplate (BP-D) or can I butt another single backplate against the older one?
