Jim,

Sensata Technologies has bought Magnum Energy.  And it appears, also another company called Dimensions.  So the Site you care about (used to be www.magnumenergy.com http://www.magnumenergy.com/) is now http://www.magnum-dimensions.com http://www.magnum-dimensions.com/.  The former will also re-direct you.

There are several lines of inverter-only devices on the website, of which the CSW-series is only one.  You need one that Complies with ABYC E11; that is, one that DOES NOT bond neutral to ground when on shore power, but does bond neutral-to-ground when operating in invert mode.  Not sure the CSW model complies; pretty sure it does not comply, as it appears to be made as a stand-alone device with NEMA 5-15 receptacles, and not made for integration into an AC system.

Suggest you contact Magnum Tech Support to discuss your requirements.  The only contact info I have for tech support is <support@magnumenergy.com mailto:support@magnumenergy.com>.  The "Contact Us" link shows several phone numbers for sales and marketing support that could probably help you.
