I have been using the Power Jack 1500 for the whole house for about 2 weeks now and its working great! it is a bit noisy but since its outside I dont mind at all, I dont hear it at night but you can hear the fans if your outside, but not too loud. I have it running with 16 golf cart batteries and next week I will be adding another 16 batteries so that I can run my AC's in the house as well, since those things drain the batteries pretty fast. UPDATE: I have been using the system for about 4 months now and I now have no issues at all, I had never used an off grid system before so I had my issues at first but now I actually kind of forgot I am off grid, no problems at all. I love it!!
@@carmenmurga6930 the inverter stopped working a few weeks after I posted, its a piece of trash!!!! I tried to send it to be repaired but I did not see the point, its just trash, I have been using a: Schneider XW+6848 Inverter Charger Conext 48VDC, OMG!! that is one awesome inverter no issues for 4 years and going strong, its like having a well oiled mercedes!
@@JuanCarlos-io4kd power jack is okay, but only if you know how much you can draw, id say the 15k watt can only draw 7,5kw cont, id say way less as well, maybe around 4-5k, since toriod is small, but better designs out
Have one of these new was in storage, unit unpacked and has been connected to battery bank for testing. The Voltages were fine. L1 to GND 120VAC, L1 to L2 240 Volts AC. However we face a problem when reading voltages to GND. Neutral to GND read 150VAC, and L2 to ground Read 262 VAC. I contacted PowerJack, but they claim I did not buy from them, they also informed me that they never perform the power to ground test. Has anyone experience that isue?
hi I got a 10000w LF pure sine wave SPLITE PHASE power inverter dc 48v/ac110V/220V 2017 VERSION just got it march of 2018 and I don't have power coming out to the plug got power going in I got 2 x .12 volts to 24volts on one side and 2x12volts x24 volts on each side for the 48 volts it needs . just wanted to know why I do not have power coming out for the house .
What is the inverter voltage of the one you are using to run the AC´s? Because I am looking for a 12vdc input and 220 vac output 8000 watts rated power to supply AC. Any advice will be greatly appreciatted.
did you finished your testing, I would like me know the result, other testing, I saw they were not good for this brand (low efficiency, overheat, lower capacity than the advertise)
So after I posted 4 years ago the system suddenly stopped working, I do not recommend it at all, it is cheap but then again that is what you get a cheap inverter, dont waste your money, there are many better things out there. I am currently using a: Schneider XW+6848 Inverter Charger Conext 48VDC, its a dream inverter.
+Jose Garcia same internals. Of course the transformer will be wound to 48 volts but the only other difference is the main CPU. Most solar setups are 24 or 48 volts. 48 has the advantage of generating less heat in the conversion process. You can also use smaller wire. So the unit will run a little cooler.
Have you try this on a welder? (my info is: for Millermatic 211 auto-set with mvp 120/230v wire welder! Info about specs::: 110v: volts>20, amps>90,duty cycle>20%, max ocv>30, Amp range> 30-140amps. For 230v i have this: Volts>23.5, Amps>150, Duty cycle> 30%, Max ocv> 34, Amp range> 30-210) , do u think this inverter will work?
+Rocklin Local welder should be no issue so long as you have a large battery bank to support it. There is a guy who has a 5kw unit he welds with on RUclips.
I have try with a ufire 5000w modified power inverter witch was connected to Mobile van 12v system (charging from alternator and 1 battery) and the inverter stayed on with welder on ,but under load while using the welder , the inverter shut off, so i guess i need more watts inverter. So at high peak witch is 140amps= 15400w @ 110v i was thinking that the Power Jack 15000w may do the job,plus is pure /true sine inverter. And yes i think i have seeing that video,but i wanted to run it from 1 battery with the help of the van alternator as i am mobile doing car/body repairs,etc. Thanks!
I also have it running 2 AC's in the house with no issues at all, its awesome, love it now when when they turn on the AC and I dont have to pay the bills for that...

I have used the system to rum my AC with no problem at all, and I have been able to run 2 mini split units with no problem at all from my battery bank, but at night when the sun is down it drains the batteries pretty fast, so I implemented a special switch to go from off grid to run in the day time, to switch to the grid at night if needed, thats the way I was able to use the AC's without running out of electricity on my off grid system.
I'm not English speaker, but I you want it I can talk to you on Facebook, I never done this before so give a clue. I have a question for you. if I check my main electric panel I get 4 cables 2 phases 1 neutral and 1 ground, I am missing the ground on the inverter
yes, did you hardwire the inverter or only you use a plug. If you hardwire the inverter you try to have the inverter balance(same amount of charge on L1 and L2
+Jack Patteeuw the point of the statement and even you stated it yourself is they are not common. What house in America has those plugs you listed. The main point is that it's super easy to plug a standard outlet into that socket and destroy whatever is plugged into it. Two plugs of different voltages should not be identical on a product like this.
+Jose Garcia sorry didn't get your message till just now. The positive terminal inside the inverter that comes from the battery. How about I do a video for you.
sorry but this looks like junk like 90% of inverters from power jack, look at the space between the mosfets aluminum plate and the heat sink cooling it at 6:56, this inverter will fail 100% when a large load is on the inverter. I still have a power jack only because I took it apart and fixed all the problems...
sweet just found your channel, have you fixed the issue I stated. I know this will cause the inverter to fail. good luck man, hope it last I have been running my 8000w reliable electric inverter for 4 months and had up to 6500w load on it so far and it cost about $1000
+Going Off Grid I worked close with powerjack to make them last. I stress tested the inverter to what the maximum amount my battery bank could provide safely. I have been running this inverter regularly with high loads and it seems to be stable. They have address alot of the problems that the inverters had prior.
so it seems like that are going from crap to an ok brand is what your saying? because everything in the last 7 years has been very bad, like as bad as swipower inverters bad, I have had both so I hope they will be better, I do not think they will but ill watch the poor forks that buy these and see. please don't lead people astray.
+Going Off Grid I can't speak for the pre ious inverters. I have owned 3 different inverters from powerjack and I never push them beyond 70 percent or so. This one has been running my house non stop for a few months and not one time has it hesitated.
The 220V socket might be handy if you buy any European/Asian/Australian gadgets. I live in the UK and have a US RV, the 110V sockets would be useful to me and the 60Hz (50Hz appliances work better on 60Hz, than 60Hz appliances do on 50Hz, which in the case of motors can overheat). Of course it's just fantasy, not given any thought to a large single phase UK appliance (L1 N E) running on US split phase (L1 L2 E) Surprised PowerJack doesn't make a 415V 3 phase UK version, would be great for us as domestic users typically don't get multiphase power in the UK, I had to spend £4,000 on a 3 phase generator so I could have it. A year ago after watching your video I saw a 12VDC 230VAC 2000W LF PSW PowerJack inverter on eBay for £102, I hesitated for a second (remember seeing PowerJacks back in 2007 and hearing the stories), but at that price I thought it was worth a shot, plus I love the modular design and the LF type. It replaced a 500W HF PSW inverter in my RV, which powers TVs, USB chargers, WiFi router and NAS hard drive (with my video collection saved on it). It runs very cool and even though all my batteries are well worn, it provides uninterrupted power, where the old one would cut out after starting the engine and the split charge relay connects the knackered battery bank to the car battery flattened by cranking a 454. I was wondering if it'll power my 2HP air compressor (the onboard generator was missing an ignition coil when I bought it, I've since fitted a Dometic TEC30 diesel inverter generator, which is too expensive to risk frying. I've seen people fit supercapacitors to cars to provide surge starting current, I wonder if a supercapacitor coupled to the back of the inverter would help it deliver the four or five seconds of 6000W surge a 2KW induction motor under load would draw?
All through my typing I was disturbed by wife and kids pointing out daft stuff the dogs were doing, so apart from rambling on, I forgot who I was replying too!

Yes
What is the no load current draw?
Hello Sir, how much Power Jack 15kw cost and from which company in Hong Kong ? please state, Thank you
Have you had a chance to look at the waveform under load?
just courious where do i get a manual for my model lf8000 split phase to 15000w inverter i cant find one at all for the life of me.
did you finished your testing, I would like me know the result, other testing, I saw they were not good for this brand (low efficiency, overheat, lower capacity than the advertise)
+Jose Garcia 90-92 percent efficient at 50 percent load. Around 88 percent at 75 percent. Never overheat one time even at consistent high loads.
Idle power when not in power save mode is interesting. I have 20 W on my 24 V powerjack. How much does this have?

What size glass fuse does it take ?
is that 15000 still working?
I got one it drains 800 AH lithium in literally under an hour
I found online, it’s only 7500W continuous.
I was checking a table for maximum power the maximum power for a load is 5000w, so is a 5000W inverter with a add of 15000 W
+Jose Garcia if you are talking about the table that powerjack puts out for their torpedo style inverters. It's an odd table that does not make sense
they have a 24VDC version and 48VDC version the difference in price is almost twice, there's a way to know if worth buying the 48VDC vercion
+Jose Garcia same internals. Of course the transformer will be wound to 48 volts but the only other difference is the main CPU.

This is a question from a Japanese.
Where can I buy this product?
by the way this inverter does not come with ground, I only need to connect one cable to the inverter's body and I have the ground
the connector mark with L2 L1 N is missing the ground?
so the terminals for the inverter and for the battery are different, I was thinking they were the same(charging port).
+Jose Garcia they are the same but are always hot from the battery bank.
have you check the cable for the split face(#10AWG), I think they should be little bigger(#6AWG)
You should hit me up on Facebook and we can chat
so you are not using the charger from this inverter, you have to move some switch in the inverter to unable the charger
what would happen with a shortcut in this inverter. If one of the phases on the split system has more loads, what would happen
You can overload/overheat the fets powering that side and fry it.
If possible to have the physical dimensions of the transformer
