sola basic adjustment pot
Hi, Does anyone know where I can find the voltage adjustment for "cut in" on the Sola Basic 4000?

Almot,
The trigger set points were changed. They are now approximately 112, 102, and 92 volts. I don't have access to a variac or isolation transformer to double check the numbers. They may be higher than what is listed above--but they are certainly not lower.
The boost deferential, which a percentage, remains unchanged.
From the OEM literature 110-->121, or 10%. But that would be with no load.
In real life as load increases the input voltage sags more and more while the boosted voltage is based on that 10%. So, at 106 volts input volts, boost is 10% giving about 117 volts inside the RV.
Again in "real life" with the same load, boosted voltage works out to 117 with the autoformer, and 102 volts without the autoformer.
The real "power" difference is about 1950 watts with booster @ 117 volts, and about 1800 watts without boost at 102 volts.
The above numbers were take while plugged into a 30 amp service with 50 feet of #10 wire (two cords daisy chained).
