LouiZE said, "I will be moving (one/two blocks) near a fairly rough
neighborhood and would like suggestions/discussion thread on preventive
"pre-emptive strike" .  .  .  . "

A "stacked pair" of Trace SW5548 inverters, each continuous duty 5,500 watts @
120 volts rated gives you 240 volts with 2.5 times the continuous duty load for
short duty applications of something like 30 seconds.  So that gives you a nice
27,500 watts at 240V.

But mine weighs 136 pounds, and that's just for one.  So you you'd have to
multiply that by two and add four batteries capable of delivering the load for
under a minute and add a good salt water grounding sprayer system.  Trace
doesn't mention this in their applications chart.  Peace.
