[@LawpickingLocksmith]

Good test! I bought nearly the same unit but in Australia we have 240V. Just like on your test it came just under half the rated output. So I kept it at 1695 Watts to see how long it lasted. After 7 minutes smoke came out but it was able to restart and work up to 300 W. Upon inspection the main reservoir capacitor had popped. I asked the supplier for a replacement cap. They staunchly refused and after asking too many questions they insisted on return and I got my money back. I should have filmed the smoke. In the overall there is not enough build quality. Should be sold as 1500W inverter!

[@electronicsNmore]

I would've sold it as a sine wave inverter with 1000W max continuous, 1500W up to 5 minutes, with high surge capability. Hope you were able to swap out the cap. Thanks for watching!

[@superphotog]

Your $140 inverter is now (3 years later) $190 which translates into $265 Canadian. You have made me feel so much better about my $250 Canadian purchase of CNSwiPower 2kw/4kw peak workhorse beast I made last month and that I did not leave money on the table.

Thank you so much for this video, i guess i can skip this inverter. Your methods answered all my questions, keep up the good work.

[@SI-GOD]

2 questions... still so much I need to learn. 1> If I wanted to run a continuous 1500 to 4000 watts with occasional surge starting power, is it better to have 4x1000 watts rated inverters instead of 1x4000? I realize that will create more logs with internal circuits and other areas. 2> if trying to save cost, can you use mod sine in a home with a UPS backup power connected to things that require pure sine such as desktop computers?

[@electronicsNmore]

Hi there. You need one "GOOD" inverter, and I would suggest a sine wave inverter. I can suggest a few if you'd like. 20 years ago I was using modified sine wave units. That said, there are many things that you could power using a modified sine wave inverter. As long as the UPS can tolerate a modified sine input(which it should), then you can do as you stated. Thanks for watching!

[@mrfrog8502]

11:00 It's an LC filter that turns high frequency PWM output into a sinewave. Most 2 stage inverters are built in such a way that the first voltage from the battery is boosted up (on that side with lots of smaller MOSFETS) and then high frequency chopped into PWM (on the side with 2 large MOSFETS). Finally the output is filtered out and turned into sinewave using LC filter. Thanks for in depth review. You've saved some people their hard earned cash.

[@danielmusat597]

At 11:00 you pinpoint an inductor. That inductor along with the blue capacitor next to it makes a low-pass filter that filters the high frequency PWM letting only the 50 or 60Hz sine-wave get through. These inverters are essentially Class D audio amplifiers that amplify a single 50 or 60Hz tone.

[@NETBotic]

Engineer: It's 1500 watts peak sir Boss: Okay so 4000 watts End user: Here we go again In all fairness you need a watt meter with a higher sample rate. Reading watts on that cheese LCD display that likely does a lot of averaging to keep it stable and easy to read isn't the best test.

[@electronicsNmore]

The display wasn't jumping around because of the meter. The heat gun cycling caused that.

[@NETBotic]

@@electronicsNmore My point was it didn't jump around enough. If the sample rate was high enough to see the peak wattage the display would jump around so much you wouldn't be able to read it. If you wanted to know the real peak wattage and continuous average you'd need a sample rate in the millisecond range and a data logger to record the data. You could then export the data and look at it in a graph form and see what is really going on. I'd guess the inverter has a half second sample rate and averages at least two readings to keep the same number on the display long enough for the human eye/brain to read it.

[@electronicsNmore]

@@NETBotic I see. I thought you were referring to when the display was fluctuating. Yes, a faster sampling rate and we could've seen the peaks better.

[@curtchase3730]

Excellent review and through! Same factory probably builds car audio amplifiers too! They (Chinese) have a problem with zeros! Like 4000 watts is really 400 watts (ie: car amp). Note that a couple of the yellow transformers in that inverter said 1.5Kw. I think that says it all.

Works great, fan comes on when it should, runs the vacuum, and every single morning one or two batches through a 5-cup coffeemaker. it will trip out if i run the vac the same time as I am making coffee but if I am not dumb I do not need a 4000W inverter LOL Other people have had good luck with giandel, and I have seen online where people needed warranty support- and it was there.

[@jjthegreat1981]

I bought the 24v version of this exact unit and have come to the same conclusions. This is a 1000w continuous inverter. 1200w for 15 mins (good enough for a toaster) but don't expect anything more than that. The way the mosfets are mounted, makes additional cooling options impossible. I bought mine for 150 Canadian bucks from aliexpress. Yes there are better but I can't complain of the price.

I know it's a 2000w inverter, but isn't it possible given the fact there's only one outlet, that it's limited to 15 amps/ 1875 watts (or +/-1800w)? So maybe two appliances is over that limit? I wonder if there were two outlets if it would be able to handle it?

[@pulesjet]

I like the idea of using multiple wires on the out put and input connector. I believe three 8 AWG wires would stay cooler then say a single 6 or 4 AWG wire. I'm quite happy with the reliable inverter, I went with 24v and purchased a 12v for the mother in law..

Sorry Alan. I did lower the audio way down in the video. You can hear where the audio drops down. When I edit I use headphones, it sounded fine to me.

[@jenuel11]

Hi, can it run a 1hp airconditioner??

That inductor, along the ~3μF cap next to it form the spwm filter. Nothing to do with inrush currents. And the control board might be eg8010 based with a pair of counterfreight ir2110 or ir2113. Might worth a check. The chip usually doesn't die but the gate drivers do. And replacing the brass piece of... wire used as a current sensing resistor with a calibrated, low tolerance shunt resistor, might save you even in dead short circuits. Those gate drivers pop like corn on fire if fake. The original International Rectifier ones survive even blown high-side fets.

[@josephdewuhan]

The question is what stops the inverter from working at higher wattage load? Obviously, it is not because of voltage drop of the battery. Could it be the high temperature? Does it mean that if the unit got better heat dissipating ability, it would allow higher wattage load?

[@electronicsNmore]

Excessive heat. Maybe adding a high CFM fan would allow higher current loads longer. Thanks for watching Joe!

[@notyoung]

I have that Changi 4000Q inverter. I didn't expect more than 2000 watts (regardless of the label - the Chinese have an interesting way of computing "peak" power, as a 350 watt inverter can have a 3000 watt peak rating). I found that the Changi shuts down in less than a minute at about 1600 watts (testing at 61F/16C). It also runs the fan continuously at lower power levels. My 2000 watt continuous Reliable inverter can run a 400 watt halogen worklight continuously with the fan running occasionally. The Changi starts the fans in a minute or less with the same load and they run continuously until the load is removed. I think it needs bigger heat sinks and better air flow. My 12 volt source is a 420AH AGM battery bank so the voltage is relatively stiff. There is an online reference about sealed lead-acid batteries lasting longer with an occasional 10% discharge than when held at float voltage in standby service. I have a long term project of testing that premise on the AGM batteries I installed last year (replacing a set that was almost 9 years old). The 420AH bank gets a 42AH discharge once or twice a month, followed by a full charge. Will it make a difference? Ask me in 9 years ;-) To start the chopsaw (and similar tools) on an inverter or a generator that doesn't quite have the surge capacity needed, go to raymondinnovations.com and check out their GS10 (15 amps) or GS11 (20 amps) soft start devices. They use an NTC resistor that heats up very fast to limit inrush current. Some chop saws have a startup current of almost 40 amps, so you know that most inverters don't have the fraction of a second of higher output that's needed to get the motor turning.

[@electronicsNmore]

The Changi is a poorly designed unit, and it does heat up due to inadequate heat sinks. Refer to my other video below. Thanks kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z36ziGSaptqfjdk

Inverters are getting cheaper, in the early 1980s in Australia were a dollar per watt. A 500W inverter used to cost $500. Recently I bought a pure sine wave 500W from Jaycar for $150 which replaced a 300W modified sine wave bought years ago for $250.

[@drop469]

No way that unit could possibly do 4kW. Remember, battery size in amp hours also determines the amount of watts you can draw from the unit. This means your test is flawed because you need a bigger battery bank to actually conduct the test with cause you can only draw so much current out of a battery for it's maximum current. I would give this unit 2-6 months before it is junk.

[@electronicsNmore]

When I saw the size of the inverter, I immediately knew 4000 was a con job. As for the battery size, it was just fine. It has no problem at all powering a full 2500W using another inverter that I have, especially the LiFePO4 that can supply high currents. You saw the voltage level, so the tests were not flawed. I challenge anyone to repeat the test using an 8D or larger LiFePO4 battery. I make sure I do things correctly before showing them online. Thanks for watching

[@JT-lq4yd]

A bigger battery or bank is not required as a standard car battery is capable of providing the current necessary to test the surge output of the inverter. The 8D battery should be enough to power a 1kw load for about 30 minutes. Besides, the output wires going to the outlet are not rated for 4kw, such a small gauge wire but they are perfect for 1kw continuous.

[@arthurleslie9669]

A little disappointed you didn’t smoke test the output. LOL Too bad part of your testing is not actually taking a look at the output waveform as well.

[@electronicsNmore]

The waveform is sine wave, even though it may not be "Pure". It's good enough for powering almost every device. To analyze the waveform much better, up close in detail, I would need a much more expensive O-scope. You can't expect a high "Purity" wave at such a low price. I have a pure sine unit, and it's very expensive for only a 1000W output. As for blowing up the unit, I already lose money spending hours and hours filming/editing videos, so I didn't think it was a smart move to short the output. Unlike other channels, I don't have people supporting my work with thousands of dollars every month, and I've helped many millions with my detailed and well explained repair videos. Thanks for watching

So, the rating are peak to peak.

[@electronicsNmore]

I have no clue how they arrived at 4000W. LOL

[@stevekent3991]

For power tools, I’ve been slowly switching to cordless. I charge my cordless tool batteries DC to DC so there is no need for an AC inverter for my power tools plus cordless is convenient anyway.

[@electronicsNmore]

I like to have both on hand. Thanks for watching Steve!

I have a 1200w mod sine inverter, it will run a skill saw, i don't know about a chop saw, I don't use it, because there is , or I think there is something wrong with the sine wave, it killed a transformer ina radio, and a CFL light, almost instantly, and the output drops dramatic with battery voltage, I have seen 60vac, at about 10.9v and it was still working, so it's a paper weight, I only gave $40 for it, but my system is 24v, and i do have a small 12v LiFePo4 backup, around 400ah, I would like to get a 12v pure sine inverter that will run the fridge, and microwave, I have a 450watt ups, that's 12v for small stuff, it will power my TV, and charge phones, I have 12v DC lighting, I ran a 10gauge buss line through the house, with 3amp connections, for 1.25-1.5amp LEDs

[@electronicsNmore]

Could be a faulty or poorly made unit. My modified sine inverter ran everything fine for years, but it did burn up a few cheapo devices that plug directly into a receptacle, because they used transformerless power supplies.

[@stfnsipos]

4000W? Is full of shit !!! The saw was just turning not working!!!!🤔🤔😒😒 Good video thanx !!👌👌

DUde how many BATTERIES are you using? Don't be a troll I see ONE BATTERY

[@electronicsNmore]

Seriously? You always speak to people like you're a kid? Unreal. Find another channel to watch.

4000 watts/12 = 333.3333 Amps ... oh plz

Many Chinese companies love lying about specs to sell things.

You have to provide enough Power to the damn inverter in the first place.

They are just flat out lying about it. There is just no way I would trust that to run at 2kw for long periods of time.

Yes. We learned what it can do. :-)

Be lucky if it doesn't burn the house down.

[@АлександрПальчиков-м3э]

4000w >>>> 1500w

[@johnussss]

Your previous inverter was junk, had one, they are NOT pure SW but an absolute junk wave and die randomly, I know, had one and many reviewers confirm this.

[@2626sylver2626]

Your test is crap.1st:the cables between battery and inverter they are very thin(I know you are using the one they send with the unit)but use proper cables to show us what it really can do.2nd:you battery capacity is to small that why the voltage drops super fast

[@electronicsNmore]

My test was highly reliable. At least I took the time to perform these tests, which I didn't have to. Lose the entitled attitude. Every angle was covered in this video.

Hate to tell you, but using a better battery(which I use in other videos), makes no difference for this power inverter.
