transformer inverter vs. transformerless inverter - worth the savings?

[littleharbor]

Well fact be known the recent change in gas cans (2012) has nothing to do with EPA. It has to do with Ambulance chasing Lawyers suing the largest Gas Can (Blitz) a company in Miami OK into bankruptcy. Some idiot kids did not know it could be dangerous throwing gasoline onto a camp fire out of a gas can. When they did that, the fire baked up into the can and exploded. The kids got what they asked for. Guess their parents did not teach them not to play with fire and gasoline.

Three lawyers put Blitz out of biz and sent 60 people to the unemployment line.

might be that the real problem with epa employees is that they were common core educated?

so, thanks for helping clear this up. it seems to me that the answer to my question is YES. a transformer inverter with AFCI and GFCI will do just fine.

Just know that the ground fault protection of the isolated (transformer) inverter is less intelligent and will provide less protection than a modern inverter. But obviously there are many out there.

Let us us know what you end up doing for add-on AFCI.
