Hopefully? Another 48vdc-240vac Toriod Inverter build.

I initially wanted screw mounting caps to make replacement easier, however wiseguys design incorporates two removable cap boards comprising four caps on each board.

I still wanted the caps for higher ripple current ratings that "usually" comes with quality screw in caps. So wiseguy quickly redesigned the CAP boards for me.

I looked at the Caps as a one off purchase, knowing they would not be rebadged fakes and another possible source of Inverter disaster.

Most inverters use solder in caps and preform perfectly.

You've seen the DC input currents and machinery that I need to start on an almost  daily basis, it was an easy decision for my particular circumstances.

The Cables:

Chokes don't use much cable, off cuts can usually do them, but the Toriod is another matter, 14 turns through 3 stacked cores is quite a few meters, add that to the battery bank interconnect cables and DC supply cables feeding to the inverter
