Hi Phil,
I use the microair to reduce the surge so that other folks on the same circuit may have less fluctuation.
I can, and have, run the roof air from the Magnum. I was hoping the Microair would eliminate the momentary overload (red light on Magnum remote) when starting. However that did not work out. i.e. the inverter still overloads briefly when starting the roof air compressor.
What the microair did do, was prevent the autoformer from boosting voltage when starting up the roof air. I've now moved the trigger points up on the Sola Basic, but did not do so in time to see the results of running the air.
I'd love to revamp my solar to 1500 watts--then I could more or less run roof air from the panels.
If I start over, I'll go to 48 volts and a Victron inverter/charger.
