MS4448PAE 48v system faults with any surge load

I initially posted this to the wrong discussion group.. Sorry.. feel free to delete the original but please leave this one.
My setup:
8 285W LG Panels wired in 4 parallel sets (To obtain the 48v input required for my charge controller)
Magnum PT-100 48v Charge controller
Magnum MS4448PAE 48v 4400 Pure sine Inverter
8 Trojan T-105 225AH deep cycle batteries (1/0 gauge welding wire between the batteries and from the batteries to the inverter.. distance less than 4')
I have connected a small refrigerator, a small 8000 btu AC and a 12000 BTU portable AC at different times.. each one of these items causes the inverter to fault when the surge for the compressor starts.
I am exceptionally disappointed .. I at least expected to connect the new Mini refrigerator.. something must be wrong .. but I'll be damned if I know what it is.
Here are the specs for the inverter:

Jogotta,
Keep the original discussion... I will move it to the Off Grid system sub-forum.
