The manual's model list prints "FX3048 T (48 VDC/3000 VA)" under Sealed Units (with a space before the suffix) and the Appendix Ratings table is headed FX3048T; the model is recorded without the space.
Printed in the AC Overload Capability rows as "Surge 6000VA", "5 Second 4800VA" and "30 Minutes 3200VA". The Maximum Output Current rows print "Peak (1 mSec) 70 amps AC" and "RMS (100 mSec) 50 amps AC". Read from the table headed FX3048T in the manual's Appendix Ratings.
Printed as "2%" in the Total Harmonic Distortion - Typical row; no maximum is printed. Read from the table headed FX3048T in the manual's Appendix Ratings.
Printed as "Idle Power - Full AC Output ≈ 23 Watts DC" and "Idle Power - Search Mode 2.6 Watts DC"; the approximate sign is kept. Read from the table headed FX3048T in the manual's Appendix Ratings.
Printed as "3000VA" in the Continuous Power Rating at 25C Ambient row; the model list on PDF page 4 prints "FX3048 T (48 VDC/3000 VA)". The manual prints this rating only in VA, so no watt figure is recorded. Read from the table headed FX3048T in the manual's Appendix Ratings.

OutBack Power's own 60-page FX Series Inverter/Charger installation manual, part number 900-0083-01-00, "Date and Revision • June 2008 REV B". Page 2 (PDF page 4) lists the 16 FX, VFX, GTFX and GVFX models with their DC voltage and VA rating; the Appendix Ratings (PDF pages 39 to 46) print one table per model, each under a model heading; some headings differ from the model list (GTFX3048T, GVFX3648T) and the FX2524T table prints 3000VA against the list's 2500 VA. Manufacturer claims, not independent tests.

Printed as "a two year (2) limited warranty" for OutBack's "FX/VFX Series Inverter/Charger products" "if installed in fixed location applications" (warranty text revision 2008-04-01). The registration page offers an optional paid three (3) year extension to five (5) years. Printed once for the whole FX/VFX family.
The Evidence score uses the priorities you choose. It counts published documents, such as certificates and warranty terms, and it compares a documented figure with the best documented figure of the same kind. It does not count owner reviews, and it is not a verdict on product quality or on how many people have reviewed it. A low score can mean little is documented, or that a documented figure is below the best of its kind. Undisclosed data scores 0.
Missing details. This number counts only the evidence recorded so far. The source review for this product is not finished, or the maker has not disclosed enough, so the number can only go up.
Missing for this product: Certificate evidence needed; Battery conversion efficiency needed; Idle consumption needed.
Each input is scored against the best documented value for an inverter: warranty term and battery conversion efficiency against every published inverter, idle consumption (lower is better) against the inverters in the same output band, or against every published inverter when the output is not documented. A documented value always earns points; an undisclosed one earns 0 and is listed as missing. Researched products receive a score. Certificates earn points for the evidence itself. Size and weight do not affect scores.
