I agree that the FW250 has a few shortcomings however it does work
out quite well on the AC side. My own system has a FW500 DC and a
FW250 on the AC side outputting to the existing service panel. It is
a bit crowded in the FW250 especially with the FW-SP-250 (surge
protector) however I can honestly say with the pre-made jumpers
Outback supplies there were no bloody knuckles involved. Also, as far
as I know Outback is now shipping built up FW250 power panels and I
believe they've addressed the shunt and negative bus issues. I
certainly like the E-Panel but the FW250 does have it's place on
certain systems and should remain as a viable option in a designer's
bag o' tricks.

Hello Wrenches,
There is a potential customer that purchased some equipment,
including a FW250 box, that goes on the end of the VFX inverter.

I've not installed one of these yet. Looking at the manual, it looks
extremely tight, especially on the DC side. Has anyone had
experience with these? Is there sufficient wire bending space?
Thanks,
