I'm finally writing this under roid/st5 power in my house, and not because of a power outage but because I had to test this thing before an actual power outage which we had last night but not for long. I made some Mac and cheese on my electric range and it was the best I ever ate ;D. It handles the 240v deep well pump easily but the microwave is a no go >:(, in 120v mode maybe, but its a 1500 watt sucker, having a voltage reg may help also since I have to have a field resistor. Running an element on the range does not balance the voltages out, the leg with the most load pushes the voltage up on the opposite leg. Anyways it feels pretty good. I'll be posting with more observations and questions.

I have a 12kw on my 6/1, an imbalance doesn't seem to effect volts much at all.
I will have to experiment with it to see if it happens and at what power draw.
