Anyone have experience with these?
We have a HPR400XD. When we installed it we did a bunch of power tests and decided to run it off of a (hired) generator because of the extreme inrush current when it starts, and we were worried about causing brownouts in our machine shop, which is connected to the same transformer. It ultimately got vetoed by the power company because they didn't think our transformer would be able to completely buffer that much inrush and might cause voltage drops upstream.
Marginal profits on that side of the business are driving a push to get rid of the generator.
Do the soft start upgrades make a significant difference?
