I have a 24v 6000w pure sine low frequency split phase inverter. I have a 3hp air compressor pump that blows air down my well casing running on a 3/4 hp motor with my wheels being sized properly to support a low air pressure driving from the belt. this fills my water storage tank. I have a 1/2 hp jet pump that pulls from this tank backed with a 30 gallon pressure tank to pressure the lines. this system had been running flawlessly. it just me living in a single wide trailer so my water use is limited. so these motors do not run much. my problem is that my inverter is no longer giving me an out put. the electrical wiring from the contact switches and the output from the inverter all run to a service box and breakers. my solar panels all run to a disconnect and are fine. my solar charge controller is fused and working properly. my batteries are fully charged with a class t fuse and in proper condition. all wiring is fine with no burned wires. the inverter powers on and is showing full charge on batteries but I. getting no output. I see no fault codes on my inverter. I noticed there is a hot 1 and hot 2 breaker for the split phase output and one if them is tripped. I press it but nothing happens. i.live in Louisiana and the temperature had been in the 100's for days with no rain. I'm wondering if there maybe an overheat issue or maybe an internal fuse issue. I just figured a fault code would be visible. I'm asking for some advice concerning this issue. thanks

Found a 10kw version that is probably like what you have. I would start out by disconnecting the output wires with it off of course and then try powering it up and seeing if the breaker doesn't trip. If it doesn't use a volt meter to check the outputs and see if you see power. If you do then its a problem somewhere between the inverter and the loads you have. If the breaker trips with nothing connected something shorted inside the inverter aka repair time.
If the breaker doesn't trip but no power on the output with nothing connected it may have blown an internal fuse.

Does it reset or stay tripped?
stays tripped
I'm thinking it's an internal fuse. I will tear it down and give a follow up.
If it stays tripped I doubt its a fuse.
what do you think it is.

Remove the wires from the breaker output and see if it resets. If it does, it's your load, if not it could be a bad breaker.
its stays tripped with the inverter off and no load

Sounds like a bad breaker if it won't reset.
Some inverters do a bypass when off. Just because nothing is turned on doesn't mean the load wiring is ok. I'd disconnect the load lines first making sure there is no ac in before disconnecting them for safety sake. If there is no power connected to the inverter aka feeding ac in and the breaker won't reset then the breaker itself is bad.
if it is the breaker are those easy to change out or does it require special skills. I've worked on circuit boards somewhat in my past but more leisurely than professionally

That isn't the one I had run across. Is it under warranty? Sungold is great about sending parts when needed under warranty and they will sell you what you need if out of warranty. Great company to deal with from my experience with them.
it should be. I have to get my receipt. I will call them tomorrow as they are closed today. Just in case, do you know of a good company to buy a breaker to use as a replacement.
Nooooo don't call. I used support@sungoldpower.com for the initial email to them. Do the emailing around 3am and later central time. Should be VERY fast response time from my experience. When I contacted them about a problem I had they diagnosed it and had the part sent out in 40 minutes flat.
I've never replaced that kind of breaker before. I have them in a bunch of my stuff but I've never had one fail. So no clue on which one would be "ideal" to go with.

This should work in a pinch. But you need to find out if you have an issue with your load that tripped it to begin with.
