Hey folks, Had my system in place for about 5 years. Recently my inverter has started making noise and from checking online it sounds like it might be transformer windings knocking into each other. Starts making this noise when under heavy load ie. the cheap harbor freight water pump tries but fails to start up. I am replacing that pump with a more efficient model.
Specs:
6 REC 280 watt (30 Volt 8.9 amp panels)
1 96 Amp Midnite classic150 solar charge controller
1 Box w/250 amp inverter disc. 83 Amp GFCI & 80 Amp charge disconnect breakers
8 Rolls Surrette S-480 6 volt 372 AH batteries
1 3000 watt 24 volt Aims inverter with 40 Amp charger
1 30 amp knife dissconnect for A/C side of inverter to feed house system
If you see something wrong with this system let me know. It has been running fine for 5 years. Three major draws are a fridge, 5000btu A/C unit and that water pump. The pump is never run when either of the other two are running.
Any idea on the inverter and suggestions for replacement if needed?
I hate being a newb and asking questions.
