Hi jharrell,
You may be interested in my autoformer thread. Find it here:
Where on the ARC remote do I find disconnect voltage?
I agree about RV's including the Easy Start or some similar product. But then, they would have to spend a nickle more (can't say pennies in Canada any more--the don't exist).
Not sure if a Autoformer would do any good, it is just a extremely quick voltage drop due to compressor drawing huge start amps, not sure the Autoformer would even respond quick enough.
Edit: Just read the thread, look like you ran into the same issue, I really think the Magnum is too sensistive.
My Surgeguard which disconnects at 102V to protect things never even saw it, the Magnum is UPS grade with 16ms (one cycle) switch over but too sensitive when you have A/C on the circuit. Would be nice if magnum let you adjust the sensitively beyond 60V more like how many cycles at X volts or something.
The setting is under Setup->Charger Settings->VAC Dropout. Page 25 in the manual has a detailed explanation.
