Yep! :) There is another gigantenormous monstrocity of an inverter just
ahead of it...."750va" (750 amps, I assume). It is in addition to
inverter #1 and #2 (I don't have the latter), but there are no specific
controls for it in the cockpit. I assume it's for critical
higher-current stuff. Once I find the RIGHT power lead going into the
cockpit, I will have power to both inverters.....will be interesting to
see what (if anything) it powers.
