So What do I need then?You are asking a LOT out of that inverter.

I've seen many thus style. Is the shape a give away to it being a transformer lf inverter. Are these modified sine usually?This would work:

Essentially a re-branded Sigineer that's essentially identical to an AIMS inverter (Sigineer makes AIMS).
3kW continuous and 9kW surge. Downside is the aforementioned 40-50W continuous drain. These aren't particularly efficient, but they kick the crap out of surge loads. Neighbor uses the 6kW/24V version to run his 3hp Grundfos pump 700' down.
Am I risking blowing up this inverter running the 2 ?You are asking a LOT out of that inverter.

I'm talking about using the 3000w reliable with 2 ac units.No. Pure sine wave.
Not even close.

It hasn't ever shut down while initiating a load. What happens is the output sags enough that the first unit that's running shuts off just the compressor and eventually comes back on without a problem. I think if I were to have the bigger one on first I might have a problem with it never starting up.If you're repeatedly initiating overloads that cause full or partial shutdowns, probably.
I would like to jump to 48vAccording to the manual, If i'm not mistaken, the outlet is not rated for more than 10 or 15A (total, for both of them). You should use the other contacts and you're own cable / outlets.
I do have a 3000W/48V version, running the whole house with it non stop since half a year so far.
So the neutral is hot?BTW, the Hot and Neutral of the two NEMA 5-15R outlets are reversed from the output terminals.
They are do not use 14ga wires on those two NEMA 5-15R PCB to the main board, the wires for the terminals are also not 10ga.
I have the 1500W and 3000W units, both of them are reversed.
So did you just switch the wires?If you Ohm out the AC outlets HOT and AC output terminal HOT, you will find that it has high resistance that is because they did not wire the unit correctly.
BTW, no power to the unit and no load connected while checking the resistance.
Even the newer model is still wired wrong.
Am I wrong? Hot/Neutral
I have a reliable 3000 watt 12 volt inverter sent to me for review video. While setting up for the video I noticed no markings on the terminal block? Odd... I reached out to reliable and they sent me the new case picture (revision 4) Of the neutral ground hot wire direction. I checked for...diysolarforum.com
Did you just switch them where they come off the board?I rewires the NEMA outlets and also change the wires to 14ga.
The wires from the main board are soldered to the NEMA outlet PCB assembly, so I just made 3 new wires (L, N, and Gnd) for it and switch the L and N.Did you just switch them where they come off the board?
I would have to see it inside but would think you could just switch the wires from the board so it looks normal. What colors do they use the goofy yellow red green?The wires from the main board are soldered to the NEMA outlet PCB assembly, so I just made 3 new wires (L, N, and Gnd) for it and switch the L and N.
