Selecting a high wattage psw inverter

Hi MrWizard,

Yes it does interest me. Ty.

Hi Smk,

Yes, I've thought about 24 and 48 volts.

If I do that I loose any redundancy. Because I stayed with 12 volt when I had a problem, I had a work around in 20 seconds. If I had gone to 24 volt I would have been up the creek without a paddle.

If I were starting over from scratch I'd lean towards 48.

But recent events seem to indicate I should stay with 12 volts.

Have you considered going 24 volts for this service? IMO over 2000 watts is really pushing 12v system a bit hard.

Hi dons2346,

I have not given up, or Magnum would not be on the list. I'm just curious as to what options may be.

I also purchased from Imarine.

Don, I think you are giving up on the Magnum to fast. I think they have the best support in the industry plus they speak English. Catastrophic failures can happen with anything so good factory assistance is important

I really like my 3000 hybrid. The cheapest place to buy any converter is from http://www.imarineusa.com/ The cost of the hybrid 3000 is a little under $1700
