This is a good inverter. I bought the 24V 3000W version after watching this review. Been running for 8+ months. It doesn't get hot even when you run it at close to 3000W output for longer periods of time. Coolingfans starts both when it get hot and when the load is over 1500W. Best chinainverter so far.

[@Kettenhund75]

Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏

[@jacobsmithjr]

Thank so much for talking about and explaining amps. I'm a novice when it comes to electronics. Every time I would ask a question about amps on other channels or forums someone would send me a link to Ohms law in or formula. You are the first person to answer my question about batteries amperage.

[@StartledPancake]

Great video, really appreciate the detail you went into concerning the build quality. Nobody should be running a 12v inverter to generate 3000W AC though, you can buy a 48v version of this model. 1/4 of the amps, higher efficiency everywhere

[@wallacegrommet9343]

48 volt battery bank will have to consist of many batteries to have sufficient ampacity. What would be a typical configuration? I have four GC2 six volt batteries crammed into my boat just to have enough 12 volt capacity for house loads. I don’t ever intend to draw 3000 watts from my inverter.

[@randybobandy9828]

That's not as easy for some to just "get a 48v version" you would need to have a completely different battery set up if you are using Lithium.

[@papadave3252]

Don’t order their 220 v version. Mine came with 110v sockets and was 50hz vs 60. Imagine what would happen if you plug I want an appliance into that socket. Boom. And trying to run a 220 motor off of 50 Hz would be a similar problem. They are refusing to make it good at the moment. 300 bucks down the drain. It would be useful if they knew it in America we use 60 Hz but in Europe they use 50. Hopefully somebody and Engineering will make it right. In the meantime I’ve got AliExpress trying to explain it to them. It’s a good product and this is the fourth one that I’ve ordered. That’s the first time I’ve had a problem.

[@antesc]

Great video!!!. I have one using in my house, 24h/7, 365 days for 4 years. I can use my washing machine at 40°. It's the best cheap inverter.

[@lucasokomuniewski6525]

I have had this same inverter for the passed 3 to 4 years, still going strong, I did had to replace the 2 fans inside as they burnt out last year but great inverter. 👍

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

My cooling PWM fan circuit failed from running it in 110+ degree heat at 75% load running a RV ac for days. So I wired in a few bi-metal disc and it's fans come on at 45 Celsius and have never been a issue again. Owner caused and owner fixed.

[@sidlori1592]

Fans burn out due to cheap inverter design. Measure the voltage going to the fans...in my case, the 12v fans (absolute max spec is generally 13-14v) were getting powered with 18vDC. They'll run for a little while, but eventually WILL fail. I added a buck converter to mine to drop the voltage to 12v on the fans. They should never fail again--well, partly because I've ditched the HF inverters anyway ;-)

[@Eric-bh6ie]

Man I received 2 of these both broke. The first 1 the package was bet up n the fan was broken so a replacement was sent only to find out 1 of the outlets was DOA. The outlets seem very cheap

[@orlandomccray6878]

I agree This is a great product. I've got a 5000 watt.. Had it over a year .I love it!

[@beginning-reloading]

Glad I found your video! I've been trying to decide on a 2000 watt inverter for my popup truck camper. I'm installing 400 watts of solar and have 2 x 100ah lithiums. I just swapped out the old converter and fuse box for a new one with the switch to charge lithiums. Looks like the 2000 watt SWI will work for what I need. I only need one plugin as I'll run an extension cord from the inverter out of the old vent hole around the front of the camper so I can plug the shore power cable into the inverter. I wired up the new converter to it's own breaker so I can switch if off when connecting the short power directly the to inverter to avoid the "loop". Thanks again! 👍

[@beginning-reloading]

One quick question... should I go for the 2500 model? I won't be using a microwave. Biggest draw would be my small Kuerig coffee maker.

~8:23 - that is the filtering cap for spwm. Nothing to do with starting. The reservoir and filtering capacitors (more to do with starting power and surge power) are the black cilindrical ones in the hudreds or thousands of microfarads at ~450Vdc. The filtering capacitor (or capacitors) are in the 1...4.7 microfarads and witht the choke or chokes, in the range of 1-4mh, next to it form a low pass filter that smooths out the very rectangular pulse width modulated current coming from the fets into a clean(ish) sine wave. A big filtering cap could mean a better and smoother sine output with less distortions and better ruggedness to spikes but nothing to do with surges, loads or starting. It actually wastes some energy and pushes it back in the choke, where most of it becomes heat, making the inverter use some extra power without any load but there would be no usable energy coming out of the inverter without it. Anyhow, thanks for sharing, I do enjoy seeing the guts of these cinese inveters. Sometimes is hilarious to see the gap between their undersized components and eye watering exaggerated ratings :P

[@chris8383]

What is your opinion of the inverter? Is this work buying. I have very small needs maybe a small freezer.

[@benbig402]

Hello Daniel I wrote yesterday to SWI They told me that the inverter you show us here is not available yet , only in end of April or may. So I guess they made a prototype upon your wishes. My recommendation buy incognito one from the new production and check if they give that amazing quality to everyone

[@flb78]

[@pritambissonauth2181]

Nice informative video. @10:13 is it a transformer or a coil to filter out the AC, in the LC circuit! The 4 transformers behind are the ones doing the heavy lifting, from the low voltage to the high voltage, and its the MOSFETs behind in the heatsink which are chopping the DC from the batteries into an AC waveform. May sound too technical but the education of the viewers has to start somewhere. Its not only a question of figures, but understanding the topology of the inverter. Keep it up.

[@bearchow1929]

What are the MOSFET part numbers? How did they implement the current limiting? Does it have DC output detection to disconnect the output if a MOSFET or controller fails and causes a high power DC output? All inverters should be tested by running them to full load in a 45 degree ambient and then repeatedly short circuiting the output at least 10 times.

[@windsolarupnorth7084]

10W power consumption in idle is really good. Most cheap inverters in that sizerange will consume 20-30W just to be turned on. Thanx for this review. I´ve been looking for a good inverter with a higher overvoltage protection setting. I take that the 24V version shuts down at 30V? My current one turns of at 29V and it is sometimes causing problem in halfcloudy weather when the charging voltage seems to jump a bit as the sun reveals. I´ve had to drop the bulkcharge voltage by 0,3V to avoid it shutting down.

[@DimitriPappas]

26:22 - Hate to be so critical as I'm a fan of your videos, but you should have probably done that since it's a chinese inverter after all... unless the unit is forced to endure max continuous rated load for some reasonable duration, then the review is not thorough. We also don't know how it will cope/behave under the rated surge load. From your review, it seems like it can handle up to sustained 1500W load quite fine, but no guarantees beyond that. The visibly beefy internals are definitely assuring, but unless put to a real test, nobody will know what those components can really handle... Caveat emptor

[@cutweldngrind]

My 24v inverter works awesome and it ran my air conditioner fine at a constant 700 watts. I might buy another in 12v for my work truck.

[@papadave3252]

I used your link to buy one of these inverters. Runs the air conditioner in my camper beautifully. I have to use an extension cord because the GFCI plug on the AC unit won’t plug directly in as you noted. I was going to hook up a dedicated plug but the hardwire connection has no polarity indicated. Meter shows current across terminals but no current to ground. Ground to the case is isolated. I used a hand held led bulb and got power showing from both terminals. (Poor boys polarity tester). Which terminal is hot? Shouldn’t they be marked?

[@MrPizzaman09]

The low voltage shut down you showed was at about 11.5 volts, but the ebay ad shows it to be 10 +/- 0.5 volts. Did your input voltage to the inverter sag that much when you turned the heater onto high or did it shut off at 11.5 volts? I want to buy one for a lithium battery setup where I would like to be able to run it down closer to 10.5 volts before kicking off.

[@markbtw7987]

Where is the low voltage alarm buzzer? And how would I go about removing it/quieting it down? I have a Renogy one but I assume they're all designed roughly the same.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

On the renergy models, which are actually very different, there is a little round disc in a plastic body right behind the voltage balance control board. It will have a tiny hole about a 16th of an inch in diameter and it looks like if you shine a light there's a small coin in it. Taking the tip of a toothpick if it reacts with a little resistance that's the piezoelectric buzzer / beeper that activates for your low voltage reaction. But in all honesty running a renergy at low voltage is a hell of a way to blow out your mosfets. Proceed with caution when dealing with any of these because they do not have an actual grounding circuit it's a floating ground to satisfy electronics.

3000 watts is a pretty big ask for a 12v system. At 3000 watts one should really be considering a 24v system. If you jump up to 6000 watts or more then 48V tends to make a whole lot more sense. Then again beyond 2000-3000 watts, a LF inverter is a better choice since they have a much bigger surge rating and handle inductive loads better.

It would be helpful to know what the standby power draw on that beast is. Since the ebay link does not state standby power it's probably pretty high. I' m estimating 30 watts standby power if you subtract your fan power from the initial reading. The standby power will kill your battery bank rapidly if the inverter is left on continually with no load.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

A little less than 1 amp so 9 to 10 watts.

[@JohnSmith-qd8po]

After revisiting the link, I did find a no load spec. @ 1.6A. This would equate to 20.48 W @ 12.8v input voltage. Still quite respectable for an inverter with a 3000W power rating.

Thank you for the information. I live in New Orleans and Hurricane Ida convinced me that I need a backup power source. Most people seem to use generators for that but given the fuel efficiency of a car engine, the dramatic reduction in CO1 emissions, the relatively huge gas tank, and the storage benefits (generator size v. inverter size, fuel storage) I am thinking of using my car as the generator with an inverter. In your video you talk about the number of batteries needed to get to the 3000 watts the inverter is capable of but, does that change if the engine of the car is running all the time? With the engine, can it produce the 3000 watts? I would like to run my refrig/freezer unit, two portable 6000 btu Air-conditioners, and a desktop computer (including scanner, printer, monitor). The rough estimates for those devices comes right under 3000 watts. Does that seem right? Would a 3000 watt inverter be enough? Or, should I go with 4000?

how can i tell if the inverter on ebay is the newer one or older model thanks

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

All shipped after the end of November are this year's models.

[@thebackwoodsfamily]

I noticed you have the duracell 6v batteries. do you have any experience with the 6v duracell from sams club? I am considering them. locally they are $97 each plus core.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Those at Sam's are made by JOHNSON CONTROLS. Same as most Walmart batteries. They'll probably last five years but you're better off spending the extra 30 bucks a piece and buying the real East Penn manufactured. I put a link to Batteries Plus under my videos usually so go in there and check them out they're a little higher amperage and just a few dollars more but you can get a full 8 years

[@mauryanchili7360]

Sir does this inverter capable to run domestic submercible pump like100 fit deep borwell

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Yes, but for the pump start surge I recommend the 3200 ebay.us/aZ87MX for a few more dollars, it has much bigger boost ability for motor start up. We run a 1-1/2 horse 120 volt pump 1130 watts run, 2980 watts start on one with no issue, 3 years now.

Hey Daniel.just discovered your amazing Channel. I have a rookie question for you. What battery voltage shall i go for When building a system that charge from a Wind turbine like the one you have shown in earlier videos? I original planned for using 12 v

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

In today's economy and current conditions worldwide I would recommend 12 volt, most people really freak out when you tell them that because they've been sold on the idea you need to use high voltage. However the higher voltage items are harder to get you'll see it video on my channel that explains it you'll have to look for it it shows I think a picture of some solar panels drawn out and about 12 volt explanations.

[@andyjack2368]

nice video thanks

[@Steve-qt9ce]

John how do i get in touch with your company? I need a turnkey solar for my off grid build this spring.I can even come lick it up in Idaho.

[@mr.makeit4037]

John can you review some cheaper 48vdc input inverters want to use my 40vdc ryobi tool batteries

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Tool batteries are not wired to handle and inverter, they do have some versions that run electric lawn mowers and even some that would work as a UPS battery so they may function partially for that. But a 48 volt inverter would disconnect at about 42 volts and would not run long on a 5 amp battery, you would need at least 4 to 5 of those batteries to run a 500 watt inverter. But there is a solution, you can run a voltage converter off your batteries which increases their amps and getting off the shelf 12 volt model of inverter.

[@mr.makeit4037]

@@JOHNDANIEL1 I see. I saw several 36v inverters of various wattage outputs. I'm thinking that this range would be more effective with my battery type. Using blocking diodes and adaptors 3d printed for that battery type that I could parallel several together. The have a high discharge rating. I use mine with many yard tools including my chainsaw, lawnmower, weedeater etc. I have over 20 ryobi 40 volt 6ahr batteries. Would like to use them in my shop to power bench tools. I have made several powerpacks for my home to power internet, lighting, TV etc. Solar charge by day use at night to offset my electric bill. Now wanting to increase my capacity for the shop. Just my thoughts

[@zeezappier7345]

I have the 1500W / 48v inverter running off my 48v 12amp/hr ebike battery - PERFECT 👌🏼. Runs my TV, fridge, 2X computers, fan, LED lights, router and Sound Bar. Just purrs like a cat. Wish I could post a pic.

[@shawnaziegler2655]

I have a 1500w same model trying to hook up to 100w solar harbor freight system and the alarm just flashes....not working. Any ideas? I'm a newbie.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

You can't connect solar panels to inverters. You'll need a solar charge controller, 12 volt deep cycle batteries and then the inverter you have will run right. They do make an inverter with a built-in solar charge controller but even then you still need batteries because the inverter requires bulk charge to operate.

[@shawnaziegler2655]

@@JOHNDANIEL1 I do have a charge controller, I found my issue. It is a 24v inverter. I now have a 12v inverter and it is working great. Thank you

[@inktheglobellc]

Hi! Is this better than your power brite 2200?

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

As far as high signal noise the power bright has some they can cause a little tiny distortion in some LCD products but this one does not. The power Brite can truly handle a 2600 watt surge but this one can only handle a true 3300 watt surge but for the money this little one sure looks good

[@esiakaharding9124]

very good explanation

[@ronbonick4265]

JD I cant get the links to match up with the products

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

They should follow the item name. I was a bit surprised the Chinese did what I asked so easily to improve them. Seems they are not actually getting customer feedback though the commie fire wall to the folks who build things. I think that may be a significant reason of varying quality issues from China, lack of feedback.

[@offgridamps]

There's a lot of junk inverter's out there for sure, this does seem a good one though, I guess time will tell for sure. Did you get the Vector in the air yet ?

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

We have had an extremely cold winter where I'm at this year it's not hardly warmed up above 40° since November I don't like getting up on that roof in this cold so it'll be a while.

@@JOHNDANIEL1 bring on the spring 💪, yea really looking forward to seeing that turbine. Would probably work out a bit too expensive for me with tax and customs on it but still interested to see. Good luck and take care 👍

[@excavatorfun6265]

That's not the batteries , its a crap inverter , you're not the only person to review them. They work good but not to the specs .If it can really do what it says hook it to your big battery bank and lets see.

_Nice to see you back, with a video. So, I'm assuming that you're adding, well, multiplying 1.25% to your need for continuous use for watts from an inverter that is needed, or ÷ 1.25% from the original inverter watts, i.e., 3000 watts would be 2400 watts in reality, yes? Kind of the same thing for fusing, yes? I would like your opinion about fusing, for protection of electrical components. I like to downsize my fuses to blow before the damage is done. Most people I know will say to fuse at the max+. That has never made sense to me. Example: 3000 watts [ they say ] peak is 5000 w for 12v system. I would stay at 200 amp fuse protection, but I definitely wouldn't go over 250 amp and not add in the 1.25% on top. My reason is you what to protect your components, and fuses are cheap compared to an inverter. If you did it the way, most do 5000 ÷ 12 = 416 x 1.25 = 520. My thinking on that is you just smoke your inverter with, and if someone can produce that kind of Amps from a power source anyway batteries or the from the grid, they'll have much bigger problems like fire and explosions. Or am I thinking about it all wrong? Your opinion, please, thanks!_

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Best inverter methods are never exceed continuous 60% on them no matter what brand or price range and you'll be fine. As for fusing, I go 20% under wire rating, 10% under device rating and so far so good.

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

@@JOHNDANIEL1 thanks! Then you’re on the same line of thinking! Under sizing the fuses for protection of wire and components. Cool I’m not crazy! Well some will argue that. Oh by the way one of my neighbors ask me to take down the hillbilly alarm system! And my answer was no! I love those simple devices, even the pigeons hate them! Those were such a great idea from you!

[@spike178]

Yeah right if not catching fire in first week is getting better then yeah.

[@LMF5000]

The little white things probably slot into the slots on the feet inverter to insulate it from the wall you mount it on. That way the mounting screws contact the white plastic things rather than the feet of the inverter. Edit: I see you mentioned it in a later part of the video. Oops hehe.

[@bennjanse]

Hi John, I have a 1200 va Victron Phoenix 12 / 230v and running my fridge, ( large kic ) and freezer (150 l box defy) simultaneously 24/7. Will the victron last ? Kind regards. Ben, ZA🍺🍺🍺

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Victron is made from significantly higher quality parts but still just like everything else in China, keeping it cool and well ventilated but most likely give you plenty of lifespan from it but generally most inverters will wear out their diodes inside and 3 to 5 years.

[@bennjanse]

Thanks for your reply, like your videos 🍺🍺🍺

[@MrMinnesota99]

Has anyone looked into paralleling these inverters?

[@andyjack2368]

I have that same inverter 3000 watts pure sine wave 48volt DC input I buy it from a guy he tell me he test it with one battery 12 volt DC only DC INPTUP VOLTAGE SHOW THE AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE WAS NOT SHOWING I THINKING NEED 48 VOLT DC BATTERY RIGHT TO SHOW HOLD THING OUT PUT AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE

[@josepeixoto3384]

why did the 3000 watt inverter shut itself off at 1400 Watts? and at 11.5 volts? to me, obviously that was NO test; and the whole thing is a sales pitch? that's ok; do a video showing it putting out, CLOSE to 3000 watts steady, maybe i'll buy one,but not like that,look for some else

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

Learn about inverters and batteries some then Note at 15:55 and forward to understand why this is the result. I fully explain that. You can't pull 310 amps through a single set of batteries good for 250 and expect to get the proper result. 3000 watts will discharge 2 golf cart batteries in about 15 seconds to under 10 volts and damage them. Good Inverters don't let idiots run a battery below 11.5 volts. And intelligent people understand you buy a 3000 watt inverter to have constant use of 1000 to 2000 watts max, sorta like saying I won't buy a truck without testing all 500 horsepower in the dealers showroom even though I can only use 200 of it 99% of the time.

[@josepeixoto3384]

@@JOHNDANIEL1 well, it looks to me like it's the opposite of what you say; if you go look, that inverter says *3000 watts, 6000 watts peak* ; and all that for running it at 1000 ?; (that would be like the idiot who buys a 500 horse set of wheels for 100K, or more, to go around the corner to the grocery store,or to drive on the highways at the speed limit) i am looking for one of those dual language chinese inverters, (24 volts in,NOT 12 !! and i hear what you said about the batteries sagging at 310 amps,, but that is a starter motor of a V8,and ONE battery there, lasts for 3 minutes,so i don't quite get it), inverter where 6000 means 3000; not a triple language,where 3000 means 1000; and after looking at your video again and at the inverter guts, thanks for that,i think that it may very well deliver the 3000 watts.

[@JOHNDANIEL1]

As I say in all videos on any inverters, ignore their surge claims. No matter the brand or type. If you want a continuous 3k inverter or 3k generator for that matter buy a 5k at least to get those results. 30 years ago I would not have had to consider the china math on almost every rating claim. But now you must. Metal gauge, components or product ability from China math from them is "provide 75% as claimed then change your company name after sale". When I find the product is rated honestly I don't mind showing it like some of the little wind turbines, but you'll note my videos about Inverters I tell you that just ignore their bullshit claims of peak power and continuous power however this inverter had a more stability and quality functions than a lot of ones opened up in the last 5 years. I used it to run three deep freezers in the back of my truck on the trip moving back to Texas last year and it had no problem doing so.

[@josepeixoto3384]

@@JOHNDANIEL1 i absolutely agree that it must be an excellent inverter, i just wanted you to show us tha MAX it could do, that would be an inverter test, especially coming from a person like you that obviously knows the stuff; anyway,i am looking for one just like it,the 3000/6000 for 24 to 220, so your video was still useful after all.
