Hello and thanks for watch me videos! please like if your enjoyed them. please comment below! here is a link for inverter. No affiliate link www.amazon.com...
Now you have a good inverter. Been running them for years with No problems in my camper trailer and Ute. You should have got a bigger unit if you wanted to run more than, 2000W. You're not going to blow it up. Very well protected unit.
Thank you. I was shocked it stopped at only a little over 2,000W so i checked the spec, it supposed to be able to handle up to 2200W peak so in my mind, you really only get the continuous wattage rating of 2000W. Your vid confirms that too.
I was considering buying a Giandel inverter to replace my blown up (UN)Reliable unit, but they do not make any 24 volt models. That was one about Reliable. You could just about choose any input voltage you want!
@@GoingOffGrid101 Probably true. The giant sticker on the cover does say 3500 watts and I did pay a bit more for it than the 3000 watt unit. BTW, my unit seldom saw loads of over 1000 watts continuous! It just quietly died.
wondering if it can power gas furnace, or if it is safe to connect neutral to ground/case required by most gas furnace w/o blowing the inverter(most cheap inverter will in such setup). No such information from Amazon product page
The top cover display is nice along with the wired remote & multiple plug ins. Three Beefy 800 watt transformers & the entire case is the heatsink. The only thing I didn't see was if if had any internal fuses.
you can hook up a inverter to your 12v battery on the leaf and leave the car running and it will charge the 12v battery at 70 amps, this way you can use up to 500w with your inverter.
You got to get some thicker wires between your batteries so you have less of a voltage drop. that or your batteries are actually falling flat on their face.
Yeah, running 2 kW at 12V is just nuts, unless you're really really stuck. We all know that 48-60V is a sweet spot for average demand. Large cables are expensive!
@@GoingOffGrid101 Would be interesting to see. I got a Reliable 3000/6000 inverter last year based on yours and David Poz's recommendations a while earlier. I added it to a box of 48V scooter batteries on a trolley and can use it to charge my Tesla with another 21 portable 100W solar panels... Bit of a hassle to set up and take down, but it works!
Microwave isn't even a practical device on the grid. I've been using a toaster oven for years. It only takes a little longer and the results are 10x better. Microwaves are literally good for nothing but maybe shortening the life span
Happy Birthday Phil!!!! I hope you had an amazing day brother!
thanks buddy.

its a nice inverter indeed! love seeing the engineering as these get batter and better!

it was fused for 2200w inside, I'm guessing thats that rating.
I've seen quite a few people using this inverter with very good luck

what wattage was your reliable ? and giandel does make 24v but no higher voltage is available.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Oh they do? My Reliable was "rated" at 3500 watts.
@curtchase3730 3000w was there best inverter. 3500w I think is a over rated 3000w :(

@curtchase3730 probably a bad pot or piggy back boatd that failed :(

ill test it, I am sure it can run a furnace.

@@miguelsalami it does yes
16mm² is approx 5 AWG.
Doubling up cables reduces AWG size by 3, so 2 x 16mm² = 2 AWG
thank you!
tough little guy always nice when you get what you paid for.
yes very nice indeed, how's the solar life ?
@@GoingOffGrid101 Mostly working as it should when the weather co-operates lol.
I have one, that's survived several various weeks of power outage. Seems like good stuff to me.
its a solid unit. What where you running on it ?
@@GoingOffGrid101 fridge. Lights. Small mini split.
@@FullSendPrecision nice, loving the air conditioning 👌
Why don’t you use the a/c terminal on the inverter? You aren’t going to get enough amps to run all of those appliances without it.
@@msantacruz430 I was definitely pushing the outlet to the max and then some.
How can I make solar system and power bank at Nissan Leaf??!!🤔 🤔 ⁉️ ⁉️
you can hook up a inverter to your 12v battery on the leaf and leave the car running and it will charge the 12v battery at 70 amps, this way you can use up to 500w with your inverter.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Can you make practical video to how to do that for beginners, please 😊?!
@@mustafaalourifi8157 I will yes
@@GoingOffGrid101 It will be great, I wait.

yea 100% that will be on the never ending list :)

i agree, maybe warming up water :)
Video is unwatchable with the camera swinging all over the place...
@@davebruessow6842 I gotta work on that
