Samlex America have launched a new range of TSW inverter chargers that appear to have a very attractive $ per power price, they seem to have on the larger models at least the same case dimensions as Xantrex DR and new TR models. Has anyone had any expeireinces with them I would like to here.
They seem to offer TSW performance at DR and TR MSW cost.

Re: Samlex Inverters
Looks impressive, but now after seeing the photos, and trying to compare descriptions, a Thermal Switch is not a thermistor.
There is also a lot of bare, exposed terminals on the output circuit breakers.
I was hoping to spot a review of the Morningstar Suresine, but I guess it was too small.Powerfab top of pole PV mount | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

Re: Samlex Inverters
I read the review, did I miss the part about the idle draw? I have heard that their smaller SL inverters draw a good amount of power when idle, is this the case on the 2000w? -
Re: Samlex Inverters
Yes it appears there search and idle draw are high compared with the competition, reading several spec sheets

Re: Samlex Inverters
Eric it is the S series Invercharge that I was interested in.

Re: Samlex Inverters
there 2000 watt unit is pretty impressive for the money. They claim the newer units have a very low idle draw lower then outback? Will be interesting to see if anyone has actually tried one? -
Re: Samlex Inverters
I just purchased the S-3024. I will be installing hopefully in the next couple weeks. I would be glad to let you know whatever I can if you are still interested. -
Re: Samlex Inverters
I have a 2024E unit with me for install next week, I have read the manual its not a OB or X spec in any way but its well built and if it does what it says on the label, it will be a milestone for inverter chargers at true sine wave spec wiping out X new TR series and others who still promote budget MSW units, we shall see
Ive been wrong b4
