Silver, is this not just a rebranded Axpert?

My staff are in town today. Seems today is going to be a good day to be in the office.

Yes it sure looks like it but Pinnacle's retail price is much less than Mustek's wholesale price. So it does make one think, is it a cheap knockoff? To clarify price, I wanted to import a 1000 Axpers last year and the price that Mustek sell them at, wholesale, isn't much more than what I would have paid at the factory. These units are too cheap, unless the factory dropped their prices?

Something I know about pinnacle that might be the case is they order servers even in spares and assemble on the line, maybe they are doing the same with the inverters?

Looks like this is a voltronics product, Just look at the picture from the bottom, this machine can not be parraleled.

Doesn't mean it's Voltronics. The first batch of Axperts needed a parallel card, not originally installed, in order to be paralleled. Well spotted though! That could probably be why it's so much cheaper. Although that doesn't say why the 3KVa units are R2K cheaper than the Mecer ones.

Could be? Perhaps that's why the case looks so damn ugly, but also a bit different from the genuine Axpert inverters

@SilverNodashi, earlier I just looked at the pic, but now I see in the description it does state that up to 6 units can be used in parallel, so they will definitely charge extra for the boards and cables.

Silver, last I heard the Axpert MKS 5kVA's are only going for around R8.5-9k new.

Pinnacle sells the boards and cable seprate....Boards are around R400 excl dealer and cable R200 excl. the units are Voltronic OEM in green this time
