So I bought a this unit. And its turning out to be a bit of a mistake.
This is turning into inverter school for me.
Originally it was used in a greenhouse, and after that it sat for at least 2 may 3 years.
Hooked it up to a battery. Fires up but hums like crazy and draws around 15 amps.
Open it up and find on the mofet board
Multiple surface mount capacitors free or almost free.
Problem is I think a mouse got in and peed on the that area...
So. I mounted new capacitors on it.
But seems to have the same draw and hum.
I have 240v/120v on the output.
So I got my scope out and am probing the transformer input.
Don't think it looks correct, wondering if anyone has more insight, and can direct me.
