Yeah - it doesn't give me much confidence that the Giandel inverter will last. Next time I will spend the $$ and get something more reliable like a Magnum. I'm running the Giandel inverter 24/7 powering a portion of my house. I will post here if and when it dies.
A month ago I set up a 1500w 24v system using a Moes ATS and a Giandel 3000w inverter. It ran successfully for two days then the inverter went OL crazy. Giandel sent me a new one it’s been running 24/7 for a month. Giandel told me to keep the bad one. So I have this shiny new inverter that...
So sorry, naive of me to think you were from the states. I understand your desire to supplement with solar on your boat. I was a full time RVer (caravaner) and did a lot of boon docking. Had to have solar to survive.
Svetz, The ATS is powered by the batteries and the ATS does the switching based on the low-voltage and high-voltage switch values that you set on the ATS. The switching power is not provided by the inverter. What it comes down to is that I need to do some testing before I hook up my new...
4S 12 Volt 100 Amp BMS for Lifepo4, Li-on, Lithium protection.
I bought two of these and never used them. Originally $56 each. Will sell both for $50.00 or $30.00 each + flat rate shipping $13.00.

IR camera sounds like a good idea. I don't have one but may be able to obtain one.
I did not smell anything when the event happened or a day or two later when I opened the case. I've only gotten to one side of the board. I haven't pulled the whole thing apart yet.
Hi Jak,
I'm not sure it was the ATS or not. Since I have a dead inverter (Giandel 3000w 24v) I hooked it all back up and tested the ATS to see what it would do with the inverter connected but off. The ATS seemed to work perfectly. When the inverter blew the ATS display said the power was...
1. Yes - it is being replaced under warranty.
2. I have battery monitor.
3. I've tested my ATS since my inverter was fried and it appears to be working perfectly. Before the inverter died it was also working as it should.
4. Right after my inverter started beeping and displaying OL (Overload...
Popuptoaster - thank you for the pics. Your system is very similar to my system but I have an EPEVER CC and a 3k/6k inverter. What's funny is the first 24v device I added was a boat bilge pump with an automatic float switch. I have a regular AC sump pump in the crawl space of my house - but...
Dreen, Did you ever figure out what the problem was with your Giandel inverter? Mine did the same thing - worked for a few days and then one morning started beeping and now it permanently goes into OL when I turn it on.
My new 1500 w solar system with 200ah Lifep04 batteries and 3000w inverter using an ATS tapping into grid power when the battery runs low, was working fine for about 5 days. Then early the other morning I suspect right after the ATS switched back to using the inverter, my wife put a large draw...
