Well, there has been a positive conclusion to my Magnavolt incident. I had talked to both Dave and Rob at Magnuson and it was very good it terms of the outcome.
atriot: I'm glad that Rob chose to give me the benefit of the doubt on this one. He explained that they have not had any MV failures that they have installed at their facility. Additionally the MVs have been rigorously tested under different loads and no failures. In my case, as well as some others, it could probably be a little of both: product failure and install error, but who knows?
