Xantrex 2.0 Hardware Inverter/Charger

[Don Bradner]

I don't know what happened. Transfer shouldn't have been doing anything. The
Prosine docs define the error as an internal one; there are three relays
internally that isolate the output of the inverter from the supply line, and one
of those is welded shut.
