Smk, it may not be so "freakish" around here! I did look at other choices of regular lower amp converters, but was hoping to get that high voltage above 16v for my T-1275 equalizing as well. (Sadly, that is not to be, at 15.8 max now.)
I can still get more utility from the adjustable 55 amp PMBC swapping between the 5er and the TC than getting a regular converter of any brand. Eg I think I can use the 55 and the 100 together instead of the 40 VEC and the 100 with the Honda 3000, but it would be close.
It might not have even been the converter that did it, but the fridge going back to AC at the same time the converter came on. I just don't know.
I do know I need a better "converter" for being on 15a shore power on a long wire (low voltage) than the 2a 13.4 maintainer, that is only good at home, and the breaker popped with the 100 amper doing that job.
