To give you a precise value would Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:26:19 GMT Nando http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SWIEP/message/412 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/SWIEP/message/412 Mel & Rob: With the new inverter set up, did the wind mill have dead times more or less like the initial BWC arrangement ?.
