+Bozonez3m you would fry your inverter

Thanks Dman. Just exploring possibilities

They should both be connected to the same battery source. Sometimes it is important to do so and sometimes not depending on the construction of your particular inverter.

All things are possible with enough knowledge, stubborn persistence, resources, and time. Is it worth it? No, not unless the journey is your goal. If that is your goal then great! If not you're better off purchasing a product engineered from the ground up to be a pure sine inverter.

I don't recall which one that would be so probably not. I do still have the 6000W inverter shown in this video though.

It's usually one or more of the FETs (transistors that bolt to the heatsinks). Take an ohm meter and check for zero resistance across the gate and drain/source pins. If all three leads of the FET read near zero ohms it's bad. Replace with similar/same spec'd part. Fixed. It's obviously not that simple but that's the general idea. Probably 50% of these can be fixed that way without any specific additional knowledge. This one did not work out that way unfortunately. These are very good inverters in my opinion.

A complicated question overall, however the concise answer is that your diesel car cannot power your AC unit. You would need to modify it to accomodate a 250A or so alternator (like a high output version of a semi truck alternator) and bump up the idle speed. That said I do like the idea!

What about using a grid tie inverter to slow down the meter??

That depends on your requirements and what you want/need to power.

Fridge, lights, computer or television, pure sine wave is better I guess but is there a better brand name for a good inverter

Russ Graham Is this for occasional temporary use (a couple times a year) or frequent use? What is the power source - solar, vehicle alternator, etc? If the application is a simple low cost solution for emergency power once or twice a year when power goes out then you can get by with something pretty inexpensive. e.g. check out this eBay auction number: 321608763968 (not associated with me in any way) This is a pretty good inverter for the price. Most of them will do around 1700W continuous with good surge capability. It's actually more capable than many of the crappy 3kw models on the market.

yes for a few times a year, thanks

***** Thanks alot, I think it s better to ask someone who know's since I was looking at a cobra, not really knowing the better quality ones, thanks again, Cheers

+weasel rodent power jack is not a reliable or quality name brand.

He has said it is hobby, so that would mean it costs him about as much as many others, with electronics involved. Now that you mentioned it, he could probably get a biz license and declare it as a write-off for a number of years... rc

Unfortunately the other half of this inverter has long been in a landfill in the heavens. But it's still to this day a good 3500W inverter which is better than the whole thing going in the trash.

That is somewhat true, but for chassis wiring standards are looser and it is indeed easily possible to get 6kw from 12V with welding cable for 10's of minutes. Such an application shouldn't be considered for permanent use but for occasional use I don't see a problem with it as long as fire risk is considered. e.g. a 12AWG wire will handle 40A all day long while hardly getting warm which is double usual amperage ratings under ordinary rating conditions.

Not done yet. I've been getting really behind on my video work recently.

ok

***** when will it be done?

williek1802 To be honest it will probably be a while. I won't get to any more videos for at least 2 weeks for various reasons so I'm working on my backlog now. You wanted the Schumacher 2kw review, right?

yes

This is actually a pretty good inverter in my opinion. I would not equate it to the crappy Chinese ones you see everywhere today.

@@knurlgnar24 the one we get here in India from very reputed brand for 2KW that come for 150 USD with big isolation transformer, all kind of protection, weigh around 20 kg, inbuilt PWM battery charger and comes with an on-site 2 year warranty. So this 6KW in such Form factor is intriguing to me. I think, it is SMPS based inverter (so the small transformers instead of big isolation transformer).

+terrance leacock It was in the title..? Why did you click on it?!? (Like, seriously....why?) It was, actually, pretty informative as far as seeing the parts, the failures, and why they typically fail...Not just some un-narrated/uninformative video of a blown inverter like you lead-on to be so in your comment... These types of comments baffle me... Carry on, knurlgnar! PS: I couldn't help but check (I'm proven correct, though, yet again)...but all of you people who leave vague, negative comments never have any content of you own (terrance leacock)...why is that? Critiquing someone on a video when you don't even have any of your own...now that's pointless. Just saying. Have a great day, be productive and kind to others.

+terrance leacock It's pointless that you came here and commented on this video. It's not for you, so why bother? I found it really interesting.

hey guy find a life other than under the rock you crawled out from

+terrance leacock That's a great reply, made me laugh. Thanks

yeah me to but your welcome

+Blake Burgess at least 300ah, a 100 amp alternator, possibly two, heavy wiring, probably 2/0
