Thank you for your detailed research. All the information was very helpful for me. And thank you for making me realize the importance of the lock washers and cables.
The amperage rating depends on the temperature the cable is rated for (and the user is willing to endure). The temperature rating should be printed on the cable itself. It kinda looked like silicon so its probably rated for 200C. The bigger problem, however, is the voltage drop that you get when you try to push a lot of amps through small cables. Which is why I'm gobsmacked that so many people are still focused on 12V gear years after they should have stopped using it. 12V gear is an exercise in self-immolation and intentional pain infliction.
Good video. Why is the output voltage so low at 110? Such low voltage can damage motors over time. Why are they not designing the inverters with 120 volts output?? Did the display show watts? Thanks!
If you're wanting to power big motor devices then definitely go with an inverter that gives out 120v. Low frequency recommended. 2k inverters aren't really designed for those applications unless it's low frequency. 3k inverters are so they should push 120v consistently. Hope this helps!
I think "PC board flow direction" is for the reflow soldering of the PC board on the assembly line, not the airflow direction. 10 x 40A fuses... oh, that's funny. All to avoid using a proper ANL fuse. Also looks like a brass busbar interfacing with, essentially, solder, which is not ideal. The glue is fine... inductors vibrate under load so the glue is there to prevent them from creating an annoying "hum" noise as well as to prevent the inductor, if free-standing, from bending over and shorting against something due to G forces during shipping. Same with glue on things like connectors... to prevent disconnection during shipping.

One way to test a inverter to see if it is a pure sinewave is with a plug in 110/120 volt radio set to AM station . Lots of static ? Not a pure sinewave .
Any stupid inverter is going to run the loads you tested. You need to demo with a small AC unit, or a refrigerator freezer, or both to demonstrate the advertised soft start technology built in to the unit.
well i paid 90 dollars with taxes and shipping included and they gave me a 20.00 dollar refund since the description said it was a 3000watt inverter so yeah not bad i ended up paying 70 dollars for a 1500watt inverter so i cant complain and its working great it has 2 fans just like the 2000watt inverter and ive seen others with 1 fan so its cool to see ig ot the one with 2 lol thanks for the review
hey so TEMU was showing that you could buy a 3000watt or a 4000watt inverter for like 100.00 dollars and 120.00 right well thats was a lie its really a 1500watt inverter and 2000watt inverter for that price witch is still good but they didnt say or show this at all in there listing but i can tell because theres no pictures of a 3000watt or 4000watt inverter of this brand so fuckers got me but still 1500watt inverter for 85.00 dollars isnt bad but if i did know this i would of gotten the 2000watt one instead but owell i could always send it back but for my first real pure sine wave inverter it should be good enough since i wont ever use anything that 2000watts anyways lol

Glad you got something out of the video! Thanks for the comment.
man thank you so much for your videos brother im sure you helped out allot of people with your channel so thanks again brother have a great day
I appreciate that. Thank you!

Yeh.. Great Video, I was using the video as a reference marker, as I seen one for sale at a reasonably price point.. Very thorough.. Thanks
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!

yeah buddy i hope this inverter is any good or not i just bought this inverter off TEMU for only 100.00 dollars so i cant wait to see how this hold up
Keep me posted!

Did it come with a ground cable by chance? I was considering this inverter but with 1/0 cabling instead.
No. You will need you to get one.
Great video! Link to your cool thermal camera?

Hi "Can I use this inverter with a 12V 65Ah lead-acid car battery?"
Yes. It will work, but not for very long depending on what you're powering.

I'm glad it's working for you!
do you still have this inverter or no
My father in law uses it for his sump pump. I don't have it anymore.
