Last month we had a second inverter installed at our house, now we have one just for the refrigerator/freezer, and another for the rest of the house. The electricians who set it all up, and did some other work outside to the pole, suggested that we buy our own transformer.

So, I read these threads [TOOOO funny]:

So my question is, has anyone done this recently? What did it cost, did you have to get that insurance, was it worth it, would you do it again????

Well recently no 12 years ago, yes a 15 Kva, 7,600 VAC in 2x120 VAC out, consistant voltage, I have seen 15 KVA in Fereteria Americana for about RD$35,000.00 so I am sure you can find better deal, back then we did for about 15,000 i guess and would do it again, but hope I do not have to.......
