16,000W inverter for $88??

[SparkyJJO]

Do the fuse bypass

 

[JBoffgrid2022]

I'll video it, but I don't expect much excitement.
As soon as it gets to 2kw , it should just blow the fuses.

I had imagined something along this line... hahahaha

Yeah Yeah .. Come on you can make it happen ..

Don't forget the safety goggles.. and maybe gloves..

16,000W is nothing really… the guys selling this one know that it’s better to underpromise and over deliver, so they rounded down a bit from 100,000W…!!

I saw this in the reviews section.....

REAL JUNK​

this item is a joke. it fowled out immediately under a tiny load of 120v at 5 amps. That is 600 watts and it popped and gave up the smoke! Rated for 8000 watts and 16000 surge. Ha what a lie. Terrible product not fit for the scrap pile. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM.

So much for the fuses being useful. This will be entertaining.

The review above this one said it does NOT output a pure sine wave, @timselectric don't plug anything into this of any value! hahahaha

Isn't there a limit to the amount of usable AC watts you could get from a 12V DC power source? I'm sure there is a chart that show this....

 

[timselectric]

Hopefully the weather is nice this weekend. Because this test will definitely be done outside. lol

It just depends on the source.
You can pull whatever you want, if the source and equipment is up to the task.

Hopefully this thing goes through a long slow painful death releasing lots of smoke in the end it would be too anticlimactic if it just quit early and not worth the money you spent on it. Of course it's probably not worth the asking price

 

[timselectric]

I'm not counting on anything exciting, but I'll take whatever I get.

I suggest after it burns up you remove the guts and replace them with some resistance heating strips and use the shell as a body for a small heater somewhere where firs is not a concern. thats about the best you are going to get from it.

No, I'm going to get a refund.
I purchased the extra protection, just for that purpose.
I know that it will fail, I never expected to keep it. lol

 

[JBoffgrid2022]

Any updates for us @timselectric ??

 

[Skypower]

Oh darn, it had everything going for it, but then….50Hz! I’m so bummed

 

[timselectric]

Any updates for us @timselectric ??

Supposedly, in transit to destination.

 

[Skypower]

When you fire(pun intended) that thing up under load, please have video rolling

 

[timselectric]

Hopefully I will have time to play with it this weekend.
But I have a job that's going to run into the weekend, so we'll see.
It might have to wait until sometime during next week.
