I was just about to buy one of these Powerjack "5000W" inverters when I decided to check for reviews to see if it really was what it was hyped up to be on its ebay page, and ended up on this review series. Thank you so much Knurlknar24, you have saved me a wad of cash, time, and a great deal of heartbreak on this piece of junk. There's no way I would bet my life on one of these units for operating my well water pump during a power outage. Keep up the good work!

Your video reviews were extremely helpful. I had purchased a pure sine wave xantrex 2000 watt inverter a while back and found that it could not fully utilize the batteries power as it would turn off at about 11 volts. After watching your videos I now know that I can most likely remedy this with a potentiometer it has internally.(once I fix the blown capacitors and mosfets!). So much for purchasing a well known and respectable brand name!! I decided to buy a larger modified sine inverter and would never have thought to buy a PowerBright brand...just sounded like another cheap and over rated inverter to me. This 6000 Watt inverter is great! I can run everything I want on it at the same time...several lights, small fridge, small freezer, Keurig coffee maker, and then start up my 1/2 HP well pump and washing machine without issue although the lights will dim ever so slightly when the pump starts. The inverter stays completely cool to the touch. The fans are large and fairly quiet when running...and there are two of them - one at each end which I have never seen before. The price currently is about $500.00 now and well worth it. So far none of my electronics have an issue with the modified sine wave so it must be of decent quality as well...this includes all of my variable speed power tools which have had issues with other modified sine wave inverters I have had. Thanks again for your time in creating these videos.

Not that it would have made much difference. Some of those cheap noisy fans are noisy because there very high flow fans. I recently found this out when I tried to swap the noisy fan in my power supply with a better quality one. Also I'm not a fan of reversing the air flow of fans, on my experiments with PC's I always found the exhaust fans were the only one's that really mattered(reversing the air flow was disastrous). So if the designers had the fan exhausting from the case I would have left it that way. Anyway interesting fix tour and review. POWER Jack!

I think maybe they marketed the product wrong. Instead of it being just an Inverter they should give it a dual purpose Inverter / Space heater designation. That would really up the efficiency rating!!! What do you think? HAHAHA

Another good series. I think it'd be interesting to see how this unit performs with a high performance(high CFM) fan in exhaust mode. It's been my experience that quieter fans are quieter because they simply aren't pushing as much air. I learned that through experience by installing a top rated fan in a portable ice maker. The high quality fan was much quieter, but wasn't pushing/pulling enough air to cool the unit and it's performance suffered way more than I would have imagined. How about making a Knurlgnar24 buyer's guide/ratings index that lists the equipment you test so we can get a snapshot of the best, worst, and middling equipment capabilities vs. cost? And/or a Knurlgnar24 favorites/recommended list? Keep up the good work.

Have you done any tests with the air compressor on various when it is attempting to represurize air when it is already at a high PSI. E.g. Start the compressor at 100 PSI and have it charge the compressor to 120-150 or wahtever its rated for. I found that one of my inverters can start my compressor fine, but can't start it when the pressure of the compressor is above like 50 PSI.

The results seem in line with what you might expect out of a "5kW" consumer audio duty power converter. Which is indeed one possible niche - powering audio equipment. But keep in mind that generally only analog audio equipment actually need sine wave to avoid EMI. The digital stuff pretty much always run fine with modified sine.

Wouldn't adding one or two more batteries to keep the input voltage higher help to keep the output voltage a bit higher and thus increase the power output at least slightly? I know that the controller should maintain steady output voltage, regardless of the input voltage but since it clearly doesn't, maybe it would be worth giving it another shot with a more capable battery bank that can keep the voltage a bit higher. Nice review, btw.

I believe Power Jack has addressed burnout issues with the need to use a 48v set up for hard to start loads. The lower voltage designs, 12v and 24v don't provide the sustained voltage needed for heavy loads. I think you are right with your suggestion.

I'm looking at the 3000w LF split phase so these videos have helped. I have a few observations, though. First, I wouldn't have reversed the air flow direction. The arrangement from the factory draws cool external air across the output filters first. This is important as they will run the hottest. Also, have you confirmed the supply line you modified for a higher dropout isn't part of the thermal regulation circuit? It could need recalibrated now. Do you recall the part number on the output MOSFET? I'd like to take a look at the data sheet. Thanks!

I think its unfair to test it and make a judgement call on the product without putting it back as close to original design as possible. You may well be right, it might not make a difference but by turning the fan you have made a design change and its not operating under original design parameters. I say that pulling heat away from and out of the cabinet may make a difference. Its worth investigating. We could all learn from it, I appreciate your effort and the time it takes to make these videos. I enjoy them very much. Kd

Inductive loads (things with motors) you always need to spec double the wattage with the inverter, as the wattage quoted on those loads in an average value, they all draw double their rating (read much more) for a short time on startup, that is not shown on an average current draw figure. Thats true with any inverter and things with motors or heating elements, which require a large rush of current to start. You will either blow a fuse or destroy your inverter, as you are doubling the average rated power of the appliance for a very brief time at startup.

I'd say that given the tiny vent hols at the other end of the fan, it just can't push enough air through to cool the system. maybe it's time for some modding? take a big section of the rear out and replace it with mesh so it has much more air flow capacity. maybe even put another fan on that end? get some serious airflow going and run some more tests.

Quick uninformed question I have not seen the other videos but are the outputs in parallel or separate? Even with a pure sine wave inverter it should roughly handle 15 to 20 Amps per outlet saying it's a 5000 watt inverter means it can should handle 20 amps per outlet. Also it needs more batteries and a stronger power source providing the proper amperage to the batteries at 5000watts that inverter should be pulling over 450 amps from the batteries.

I like your vidz but none of the better brands you talk about seem to be in Australia unfortunately. Going by your reviews, if the costs are good, would you recommend finding 2 lower wattage more efficient inverters and running them together rather than a single bigger one? I want to build a completely off grid system and looking into if I should go all 240v inverted which I like the idea of or some 12v for the fridge and lights, or perhaps 24v as ive heard inverters run much more efficiently this way.

Running an overhead AC will require a MASSIVE battery bank or running the truck overnight to keep things charged. Other than that I'd recommend at least a 3000W pure sine inverter since the ratings on nearly all inverters are not honest. I wish I were more up to date with current models but beware that most 3000W inverters cannot provide even 1500W reliably. You'll have to do some research to know which ones are honest and which are not. A good 3KW inverter should run your AC plus other loads without issue assuming good batteries while less just isn't going to do it for you. I'd also recommend staying away from 'low frequency' inverters. They don't do well in mobile applications and have a higher no-load parasitic draw.

***** Thanks... I bought a really nice meter before going to Uni and I realised that next year it will be 25 years old! I have been thinking of replacing it and I like the idea of a meter that is mainly a DMM with ancilary waveform display... but all I can find on sale now are hand held osciloscopes with ancilary DMM functions which is really not so practical.

+James Lewis I know it's been a year, but it's a WENS OEM'd scopemeter. WENS is a select OEM for EXTECH and EXTECH rebadged and supplied the majority of Craftsman meters. So you could look for the EXTECH 381270 or a WENS 33N or comparable model.

+James Lewis You're welcome. WENS UMM70 and subsequently the 700 series were the progressions. Don't let the different case, stickers, and button layout configurations fool ya. That's just part of the OEM game.

Are you sure your problem is not on the other side? What kind of batteries and cables are you using? Most people underestimate the input power required.

Yes, I am sure. I agree that most people blame the inverter when their battery setup and cabling are the real problem. That isn't the case here.

not bad really for the cheap price. could add additional cooling on it somehow. would not be great for the Australian summer as it gets to 41 degrees Celsius here and thats nearly the meltdown point

agreed. It's a terrible 5kw pure sine inverter overall, but considering the price point it may have some applications.

There is a huge difference a Low Frequency inverter and a standard sine-wave inverter... I have a 6Kw Low frequency split wave that I use... It was NOT cheap. But the links you showed that were to low frequency inverters, which handle frequency sensitive loads much better... Like apples and oranges... Both are fruit, but completely different.
