Gotta love Harbor Freight. Here's a 10KW peak, 5KW CONTINUOUS DUTY 110vac
INVERTER for $999!
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47812

Of course, we're gonna have to have new house batteries that'll run 24
hours at 370 amps, continuous, and 750 amps peak to use it. My house has
200A electric service using #000 triplex cabling. According to Blue Seas
wire chart #0000 ampacity is 485 amps so we'll need bigger than that for
the full peak load, but it's ok at 5KW. We'll hold our breath as the 12
ton air conditioner that's SURE to cool the damned boat in Charleston in
August cranks up...(c;

Wonder how I'm supposed to hook #0000 to those little screws on the
inverter?? Won't 750 amps melt the screws??

I wanna see it put out 5KW into a big string of 120 VAC heaters for an
hour....(c; If we find room to mount those 7' tall 2V submarine cells that
weigh a ton EACH, we'll have that damned noisy MarineAire running off the
house batteries in no time, now!

Nothing is funnier than watching a boater, with a new 5KW inverter,
carrying his electric heater down the dock with a big smile on his
face....(c;

Looks like a good buy to me! Suppose there must be a couple of big bolts on
the back to allow you to use the power which is surplus to the 15 apm
outlets in the front.

Don't forget to check the rating on your battery switch. Most are only
rated between 250A and 450A continous... :-)

If we read the sales brochure, we'll probably find it actually PRODUCES a
few extra kilowatts, so if we plug a 500A battery charger into it, it will
run in perpetual motion, even with our 4000 watt main propulsion traction
motors loading it, forever.
