Three (3) weeks is also what I am being told. Part of the delay was
that ETL/Intertek dropped the ball, big time.
Actually, ETL ran out of brains and we had to go to another NRTL
altogether for inverters.
And yes, it does surge very well.
Merry new year, all !

As a Beta tester for this inverter I can say the use of SiC Fets is a
game changer.

The Midnite Rosie sounds interesting for sure. Midnite is a great
company with great support. Smart people answer the phone and
that really counts for a lot.
How are you getting your hands on these? I can't seem to find
much info, no spec sheets etc. None of my vendors have them and
Midnite is estimating Apr 2023 as the release date.

I run the XW6848 in my shop. When running my CNC plasma table
the XW will shutdown due to exceeding its output rating if it
is a long cut on metal when the 4HP compressor kicks on.
I also have a Midnite Solar Rosey, both are connected to the
same battery so it's an equal comparison. The Rosy inverter
will surge right through and finish the job, the XW is not in
the same league when comparing surge capability.
A bonus is that the Rosey is really quiet as it does not have
that big heavy transformer making noise under heavy load. It
is easy to install as it is not as heavy. So far it's a game
changer in regards to inverter hardware that I have tested.

There is not anything I know of that will out surge XW
pro 6948. A great monitoring platform and much better
support/installer training in the last 18 months.
Perfect for a shop with unknown peak surges.

Hi Mac
The radian is low voltage transformer
Based. Has hella surge capacity
I would consider what web based monitoring system he
wants and go with that platform.
Regardless of system I'd install soft start/vfd on
the larger units. Just easier on everything.
The solark 12 doesn't seem to be good for larger
loads and doesn't do out of balance well, and limited
to 6kw per phase. The new 15 might be better, not
sure. Numerous YouTube videos showing side by side vs
XW and radian. Both run stuff over their rating which
the SolA won't run even though its under its rating.
Good luck

Hello Wrenches,
I have a new client that has ran a pretty decent
wood shop for about 10 years on a Magnum 4448. He's
got some large loads, planers, saws, compressors
vacuums etc. They are really nice, heavy duty pieces
of equipment. Amazingly, the Magnum has been able to
start these loads for the most part for 10
years, but he has reported that it has gotten worse
lately (could be a load issue), brown outs, dimming etc
He wants to upgrade the system, get remote
monitoring etc. I tried a test with a Sol-Ark 12,
and it won't start these large motor loads. I was a
little surprised by that but I know they aren't as
good as the low freq transformer based inverters at
these surges.
I confirmed that its not just an overload from
imbalance because the 240V loads will also overload
it. I got an inrush measurement of 48.5A Ac @240
(but it didn't start the load before Sol-Ark would
shut off)
What are my options?
Schneider XW Pro 6848
Outback Radian 8048 (Is this a low freq device?)
Sunny Islands are beasts but weird to work with and
not user friendly
Any others I should consider? He does have some
significant 120 only loads so I don't think the
Outback vfxr are a good choice.
Is it as simple as saying if the Magnum can start
this load, the Radian should?
I appreciate your input!
