high frequency inverters rarely start heavy loads. you would be a lot better off with 24-volt or 48 volt low frequency inverters with a larger capacity. i utilize 8000-watt lf psw split phase in the usa. also, bolt down the connection for a secure connection with large enough cables is a must. use 4/0 cables and lugs if you can from the battery to the inverter. i hook everything up to a heavy-duty copper bus bar. put a class t fuse on the positive cable. extension cords always are bad connections. and a lot of jumper cables are not actually copper. use copper cables with hydraulically crimped-on lugs. the only way to go.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I have the same Reliable 3000w 12v inverter in your video. I hooked it up to 2 x 120ah lifepo4 batteries to it using 1/0 wires from each battery. So 2 x 1/0 wire per terminal, same equivalent to a single 4/0 wire per terminal. I was able to pull 3000w with a hair dryer and a heat gun on the highest settings with no problem (without the terminal block). My inverter stayed at 118v with minimal sag. I always encourage people to oversize their wires, because it was stressed to me when I was doing my build. What wire size were you using on the Reliable inverter when you try to start the compressor? I think you should try it again with the terminal block on the inverter. I’ve seen another youtuber open this unit and pointed out that the wires are bigger at the terminal block. Good luck.
Hell yes!!..I just knew this was the one ..I have a 800watt 24volt,,but have a big enough pack for a 2000 to 3000watt and I love the reliable inverters!
I'm very happy with the two reliable inverters that I have the 3,000 w is holding up very well and the 300 watt surprises me what it can handle thanks for another great video
Yeah but... I mean, you're trying to start a high draw compressor on the lower power outlet of the inverters. Add a hard wired outlet to the high output side and you'll often have better luck. Not to say every time, but in many cases, anyway.
Good review. I have the reliance but in 24v. Only complaint is that in the manual it says if your going to max out the inverter use the hardwire. Not the plugs. Not sure if that would make a difference.

I have a 500 watt 12 volt reliable inverter and it's been working for me pretty well for my little trailer and then I have another inverter that I've had for quite some time accurate tools it's a 400 watt pure sine wave it's been running for 24 hours seven days a week since I've owned it and it just runs a few cell phone chargers in the house acting like a little line interactive UPS
i own 3000 and 1500 watt models they are great i bought from aliexpress the maker of inverter is under same name on inverter yueqing reliable electric got dhl for cheaper then amazon dhl took 3 days to toronto canada from mainland china not as fast as prime but to save 110 dollers worth it these inverters are very relliable 5 star
If you check the specs on the PJ inverter you will see that they say only 1500 Watts of resistive load ( induction cooker ). Or 1000Watts of other loads. The 3000 is really the max surge load.
@@GoingOffGrid101 I'm using headways in my car. I bought used cells but it's around 120 ah. I use prismatic cells for the house. Was just curious if you were using them in a 48v setup or not. The c- rate of the headways is crazy
@@kswis I use them for lawn care and they are amazing, they are large for how much energy they store, but pack a powerful punch. I like batteries that have more power per pound my self.
@@GoingOffGrid101 agreed. Played with lto for a while but besides being expensive they're huge! Talk about able to dump power though. And the inverter, the swi power will be the one I go with. Yours still working fine?
im thinking the Reliable Inverter shut down because of your batteries couldnt handle the load (the voltage drop past the limit on the inverter so it shut down.)
I added two more batteries ; they're 100 amp hour so that makes 525 amp hours...it's acting more right now .. I know a guy that had an 8000 watt power jack and my little 2000 watt Aims will run a bigger load than it will...the guy that worked on it said I blew the power and control boards so he changed those...it's runnin like a champ again ...I did notice the charging is way slower now with 12 batteries...but so is the discharging...it only drops .3 volts from the microwave now, I think I finally have enough big black boat batteries to run my inverter...lol, it can't work without a dozen batteries...why don't they tell people these things? Anyhow my batteries are at 25.0 volts and it's 2:30 AM so they'll be charging soon...
Would a 48v inverter be more efficient than a 24v inverter of the same model. I have 3 of those inverters on my watch list and cant decide which one to get still. Not looking at price and by your experience which brand would you choose.
i have three 3000w reliable brand inverters and all are still working after 3 years. the CNswipower seems great but I have not tested long term. the power bright is a nice inverter if all you need is 1500w and don't mind the price, I do think its a bit higher end. the power jack is a big no no in the 3000w range for me :) I would buy 2 inverters one for backup no matter what the brand.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Thanks. I have 3 1000 watt modified inverters I use for power outages off all brands. I just want a nice 3000 watt unit and I have a used and abused 48v bank. Lithium upgrade may come next year.
I thought you needed to connect a terminal if you planned on using the full 3000 watts of power on one item. for example most of those outlets can only handle 1500-1800 watts, but the terminal is meant to handle the full load of the inverter.
Add thicker and double up the wires on 12v 3000 watt inverter. I have the same inverter and noticed 0g wire or 2 4g wires will start just about anything. Try it let me know. In the video you never put the second set of wires back on it to test it.
not only that but I realized that the lifepo4 battery was not working some of the time, ill have to try again but this compressor is much harder to start then any other one i have had.
@@GoingOffGrid101 You should hook the compressor up to the wired outlet on the Reliable inverter. Those two 'wall' outlets on it only supply 1500 watts each. The wired outlet will pull from both rails and supply 3000 watts.
I have one of those power jacks I have not really used it yet I'm still working on my power wall I think it claimed like 3500 watts for a couple min but I don't remember I hope it does well
Quite the review I still look for used inverters like Outback or Magnasine they just run better for the same money and will likely outlive the less expensive brands
My wzrelb 3000 watt inverter from reliable power tripped my equipment and then started to smoke. Power maybe reliable? ... Not recommended. Other you tube reviews show zero short circuit protection. Risk of fire or damage to unit is possible and therefore expense.
Okay if you decide to do one like mine its PICOGLF20W24V120V..it might be able to start that air pump..oh try to get free shipping its 44 pounds..about 15 of it is in the transformer..it looks like the one in a golf cart charger sort of..lol
@@GoingOffGrid101 Also I continue with these old power jacks from 2014 because they are easily repaired without soldering and for little money. That is why I have not decided to replace it with others with a more beautiful appearance that are pure false wave. If something else is that they are easily improvable to give continuous high powers by adding another transformer in parallel.
@@GoingOffGrid101 ha jajaja. The way to take advantage of 100% of the toroid in split phase is to use a step up step down transformer connected to the inverter in 220v and passes through the transformer and convert it to 110v with full potential. And to be able to use the charger mode, connect it the same to 110v Mains and the 220v output connected to the inverter at the input of the charger.
I got batteries # 9 & 10 today...they're hooked up...I put a 1350 watt load on it, dropped half a volt to 24.7...with no sun...mines a workin....we have a storm coming, I'm not too worried about the power staying on, lol...I've got three more 100 watt panels coming the 19th to charge all these batteries so, I should be good now...at least I can make brownies without the charger coming on maybe now...I've got 425 amp houre @ 24 volts...that's what it took to run my big blue box with the wavy line on it...they have a 1500 watt 24 volt one, I almost bought one it's some cheaper than mine but I figure it's a one time thing so get the bigger one...I'm gonna get some rods tomorrow and do some light welding while the sun is out....I think it's around 1650 watts while running an arc...which one of these you have here can run something?
It's got a white copper winding...the resistance is one tenth ohm...I ve got a set of Miller bobcat diodes I can use ...the primary is 4.6 I think...since it has independent input/output transformers and the input has a GFCI, I think its okay... it's an oldie it has two coils that aren't connected with iron like a normal welder...this is world war 2 stuff with 35% silver windings that is completely silent...it was before my time when things were simpler...it just works, lol...I was a bit hesitant to plug it in but I did yesterday. I put two more batteries in today and the Aims settled down finally so what the hey it's under warranty til November...I gotta test it dont I? Lol
Well you were right, but the old welder had a short in the primary winding it turned out...well it's got some copper in it...the Aims ran it for about 3 seconds, the guy in Sparks, Nevada ( what a name) says it's the control board probably...waiting on it to get back from there...oh I got another welder too...newer and all...
I thought when they say CNswipower 2000W, they mean continuous, so 10 seconds at 2200W is not impressive. I would have expected closer to 3000-4000W if they were honest about their 2000W continuous. They should be able to run 6 hours straight at continuous if continuous is what they claim. I mean it says 4000W peak, but 2200W is nowhere near that.
Yes a higher quality inverter that cost triple will do what you said but this is a budget one, it's impressive it can even do what's listed for the price, my$ 3000 magnum inverter can do its rated load all day but manufacturer still doesn't recommend it lmao
@@GoingOffGrid101 I mean just I assume pluging it in can arc when you plug it in which is not great for the connectors and the start up I assume it hasn't really charged up the high voltage cap or anything yet I assume
Well it takes the DC and starts switching it so pulsed DC and sent thru the transformers and that's like 250v or something and stored in caps and that's switched to make the sine wave for the output so those caps are what I'm talking about
Insufficient input power,,, try revving the jeeps motors to bring the input current up,,, no alternator emits full power at idle speed ,,, then I believe we would see even better results out if the inverters
@@GoingOffGrid101 looked like you had a large input voltage drop.. as low as 11 volts. It left me thinking that if the jeeps had a higher rpm , the input voltage would rise and we'd see even better inverter performance. That was a good experiment. Gives a good perspective on just how much battery power is needed to make 120 volt power..
you mean the power bright? its used to be better built and may still be better, but as time goes on the cheaper brands are catching up! in this line up I like the swi and the reliable then the power bright in second and power crap in last lol
Content is good but quality is SHIT! Geezus... whole video car running and making this terrible noise! Testing from 200w i taking FOREVER!! if inverter says 3000w, pls start from 2000w load.not from 200!
Nice comparison. I never thought to run two Jeeps in series.

I love power jack inverter only 220v no split phase 50%power.
Power jack starting big induction motors
i might be getting a 15000w soon :D
@@GoingOffGrid101 Also I continue with these old power jacks from 2014 because they are easily repaired without soldering and for little money. That is why I have not decided to replace it with others with a more beautiful appearance that are pure false wave. If something else is that they are easily improvable to give continuous high powers by adding another transformer in parallel.
@@lenergiedusoleil5234 im getting a older one as well :)
@@GoingOffGrid101 ha jajaja.
The way to take advantage of 100% of the toroid in split phase is to use a step up step down transformer connected to the inverter in 220v and passes through the transformer and convert it to 110v with full potential. And to be able to use the charger mode, connect it the same to 110v Mains and the 220v output connected to the inverter at the input of the charger.
@@lenergiedusoleil5234 I was going to do that but I lent my 3000w transformer to my uncle
I got batteries # 9 & 10 today...they're hooked up...I put a 1350 watt load on it, dropped half a volt to 24.7...with no sun...mines a workin....we have a storm coming, I'm not too worried about the power staying on, lol...I've got three more 100 watt panels coming the 19th to charge all these batteries so, I should be good now...at least I can make brownies without the charger coming on maybe now...I've got 425 amp houre @ 24 volts...that's what it took to run my big blue box with the wavy line on it...they have a 1500 watt 24 volt one, I almost bought one it's some cheaper than mine but I figure it's a one time thing so get the bigger one...I'm gonna get some rods tomorrow and do some light welding while the sun is out....I think it's around 1650 watts while running an arc...which one of these you have here can run something?
Careful with the welder, it causes spikes that inverters dont like. I'd use a old style generator for that.
It's got a white copper winding...the resistance is one tenth ohm...I ve got a set of Miller bobcat diodes I can use ...the primary is 4.6 I think...since it has independent input/output transformers and the input has a GFCI, I think its okay... it's an oldie it has two coils that aren't connected with iron like a normal welder...this is world war 2 stuff with 35% silver windings that is completely silent...it was before my time when things were simpler...it just works, lol...I was a bit hesitant to plug it in but I did yesterday. I put two more batteries in today and the Aims settled down finally so what the hey it's under warranty til November...I gotta test it dont I? Lol
@@davidpotter9462 yes test while under warranty :D
Well you were right, but the old welder had a short in the primary winding it turned out...well it's got some copper in it...the Aims ran it for about 3 seconds, the guy in Sparks, Nevada ( what a name) says it's the control board probably...waiting on it to get back from there...oh I got another welder too...newer and all...
PS batteries #11 & 12 tomorrow
I thought when they say CNswipower 2000W, they mean continuous, so 10 seconds at 2200W is not impressive. I would have expected closer to 3000-4000W if they were honest about their 2000W continuous. They should be able to run 6 hours straight at continuous if continuous is what they claim. I mean it says 4000W peak, but 2200W is nowhere near that.
Yes a higher quality inverter that cost triple will do what you said but this is a budget one, it's impressive it can even do what's listed for the price, my$ 3000 magnum inverter can do its rated load all day but manufacturer still doesn't recommend it lmao
try a low frequency inverter.
180A alternator that's cool
yes its massive
For the test on the compressor I think I'd have the inverter on and plugged in and turn the compressor at the compressor
might try that
@@GoingOffGrid101 I mean just I assume pluging it in can arc when you plug it in which is not great for the connectors and the start up I assume it hasn't really charged up the high voltage cap or anything yet I assume
@@james10739 im not sure if it has a starting cap.
Well it takes the DC and starts switching it so pulsed DC and sent thru the transformers and that's like 250v or something and stored in caps and that's switched to make the sine wave for the output so those caps are what I'm talking about
@@james10739 o sorry I ment the compressor
Insufficient input power,,, try revving the jeeps motors to bring the input current up,,, no alternator emits full power at idle speed ,,, then I believe we would see even better results out if the inverters
The only inverter that needed it was the 3000w reliable inverter . Thanks for the tip!
@@GoingOffGrid101 looked like you had a large input voltage drop.. as low as 11 volts. It left me thinking that if the jeeps had a higher rpm , the input voltage would rise and we'd see even better inverter performance. That was a good experiment. Gives a good perspective on just how much battery power is needed to make 120 volt power..
Why is a 1500W more expensive than a 3000W inverter?
you mean the power bright? its used to be better built and may still be better, but as time goes on the cheaper brands are catching up! in this line up I like the swi and the reliable then the power bright in second and power crap in last lol
The meter you were using has a 1800w max threshold. I'm sure you know. Just have to say it lol.
Yes almost melted it 😅
"Aboot"
"Hoose"
"Eh"
Aboout
110V DC-AC 220V 🤔⚡💡⚡👍
Power bright is more better and Quality.
Content is good but quality is SHIT! Geezus... whole video car running and making this terrible noise! Testing from 200w i taking FOREVER!! if inverter says 3000w, pls start from 2000w load.not from 200!
