That's a hoot. No backup inverter. Very professional, not.
>Then there is the misquote of Murphy's law
Then there is the usual unhelpful response from Ghio...
Over the years I have actually learned things from Spence, but I only
remember glossing over dozens of abusive and mocking posts from Ghio. Off
to the bozo-bin with him!

Here's ghinius ghio's web site
http://www.citlink.net/~wmbjk/tbfduwisdumb.htm again for any newbs who
might not believe that somebody as hopeless could remember to keep
breathing. Same old same-old, ghio is criticizing here without any
concern about budget, despite blaming his own budget for several of
his own setup's shortcomings. Also note that despite his having
repeated most of his wisdumb dozens or even hundreds of times, to my
knowledge he has never recommended backup inverters. Nor has he ever
claimed to have one himself. I predict that he will now claim to both
have a backup of his own, *and* having recommend one for everybody
else. And yet he will fail to provide a single quote, as usual.

Yes, I have always had a backup. It always seemed to be a good idea.
Should everybody have a backup inverter? Maybe, maybe not. It would
depend on how far away repairs are. If my main inverter should fail I
can have it repaired in a day just by driving to Melbourne. Then there
is always your solution, fail to install the inverter correctly
allowing vermin access, then making a fraudulent warranty claim.
I also back up my gas supply.
Bye wayne
