Wrenches, You can have 4800W on L1 and 0W on L2. It has huge 240V peak power. But you are correct that some 120V inductive loads >3/4hp can be an issue. We recommend rewiring those massive motors to 240V (most are convertible on the motor). The 1400W limit is with DC Loads. A heat gun on

I agree with many of you on waiting awhile longer until these issues are sorted out. While I definitely think there is plenty of room beyond our usual favorites for another robust battery based inverter to offer I don’t intend to embark on another frustrating adventure at mostly my expense. At

Yes that has happened with 2 of mine Jerry. I like the Transformer Devils that I know. Might check these out in 2 or 3 years. The whole all in one does not really appeal to me either but I will keep an open mind, in 2 or 3 years! Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar "we go where powerlines don't"

It is also interesting how sol ark sells over the counter to end users and also through distributors but at nearly the same price so it makes it difficult for our distributors to carry the sol ark products. Jerry On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 7:42 AM Jay wrote: > It is odd that the 12kw 20kw surge sol

We have been successful with double and triple Sol-Arks being able to start just about any single phase loads, the imbalance tolerance is multiplied per inverter. Like others we had numerous single inverter sites having issues offgrid, primarily while completing construction, chop saws and

Is anyone aware if this is alleviated with a parallel connected pair of inverters? I'm not saying that is the right solution, but it might not matter in a larger parallel connected system. On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 10:24 AM Jay wrote: > It is odd that the 12kw 20kw surge sol ark can’t run a 15 amp

It is odd that the 12kw 20kw surge sol ark can’t run a 15 amp 120v air compressor I saw a you tube video from what appears to be a pretty well versed installer who mentioned that sol ark knows this is an issue and specifically mentioned that his small air compressor will shut his 12kw inverter
