Double your power handling with a second inverter

Parallel two inverters for more power. These are Schneider XW PRO 6848 inverters. They can be paralleled to share the load. Thanks to the toroidal transformer inside each, they handle surges better than any other inverter I've tested.

I'm glad to see that you're providing honest reviews regarding the many benefits of using low frequency, transformer based inverter charger technology compared to the cheap, light duty, short lived, low surge capacity, high frequency, transformerless inverters that everyone else seems to be pushing.

[waynewilliamson]

great review. A little disappointed with the voltage imbalance you had to manually deal with. I hope they fix this.

I got the F3800, easy mode and only for outages. Someday I hope to have a smaller home with permanent off grid solar and batteries.

always better setups... i need another server batt. during long nights... glad the grid is still on... for now...

I’m glad you made these videos for us. I’ll definitely be watching them over and over again as I install ours. My question is are you running both inverters through only the one MPPT? I ask because I saw a diagram from Schneider for using 2 of their 6.8kw inverters and they show 2 of their MPPT’s.

David - thanks for the video's. These Schneider low frequency inverters are great - but expensive. I wish I could run my house on one inverter (new house with 5 ton ac) but that is probably only wishful thinking. Stories out there about software glitches and poor support may be old news? Tough to beat two 6000XPs where you could throw them away every 5 years and still be money ahead. Or do you think one Schneider could do what two 6000xp could do?

ya clean install sure we want to see them surge but where you going to get 40000 watts I guess we will see lol.

Thanks for another good vid. Do you know the overall idle (efficiency of DC -> AC) for the Schneider's? I'm off-grid and run 2 x 12, 000w AIMS that each have 36, 000w surge. Each one goes to it's own distribution box / set of circuits. This works because I have good circuit info and manually distributed the load so that neither inverter is overloaded even with everything on at the same time. It's all manual / simple there's high idle (200w / inverter) and in low % inverter load (<15%) it's ~78% efficiency for DC -> AC. At high sustained loads (>30-40%) it climbs 83-85%. My point is that one can go simpler/cheaper with some manual intervention and loss of efficiency. I know you understand cheaper/manual from past setups - so I wonder how you think of cheaper/manual vs better/more-sophisticated these days.

@davidpoz in this exact system setup, where did you bond your neutral and ground together? In the PDP or in the main AC service panel?

[effbee]

Didn't you have 2or 3 inverters paralleled a couple of years ago?

[rolandlukyamuzi]

Thank you for the video, I purchased a used Schneider conext xw 7048 and looking for how to disable battery charging, where can I find a conext scp unit ?

Hello David do you live in California

[OldExodus]

So what about Victron vs Schneider inverters. Which is better?

[notavailableses]

Hows it going charging the EV off grid?
