that is very true in going a bit bigger inverter because over the years you'll want more power and likely will be buy more batteries, just got to think ahead and know what you want in the long run for your set up so you dont have to keep buying things over and over again lol
I use this same inverter as a backup for power outages with my ½ hp water pressure pump at my house. My cistern is around 20 feet deep. The sticker on the pump says 7.1 amps on the outside but when it is running on the inverter, the readout says 5.2 amps. I have it connected to a single 12V 100ah LiFePO4 battery and it works fine.
Great Video! I have a question... Is the plug on the unit GFCI? Also Reliable is known for having a 50/50 voltage split. Does this unit do that as well or is it 120 from the live? I just didn't know if a GFCI breaker works with a 50/50 split. Thanks again and keep up the great videos!
Thank you 😊 The plug on the unit is not a GFCI although there maybe a future video installing one in the unit 🤔 It's 120 across the whole unit plug to block.
That is a great question. The inverter needs a thicker wire to run higher amps to the inverter and the company sent me 4 medium size wire to cover the high amps instead of 2 thicker wires 🤷 If I was to us my own material I would have made my own 2 wires to size. Does this answer your question?
@@Roll2Videos yes, was just wondering - I recently got one of their 2000 watt pure sine wave units. I am one step closer to hooking up my system for emergency back up. Thanks for your reply. Have a good one.
@@Roll2Videos #2 AWG max current is 125 amps. Fuse this at 300 amps for inrush and continuous current @ 2,500 watt output is 208 Amperes. A 2/0 or 3/0 AWG is required.
Thank you for video ! Question .. do I need install 300amp solenoid at positive wires before inverter in case if i forget to turn inverter off In my car or for safety purposes?
Did you earth ground the gfci or the case of the inverter? There are many reports of the 60v + 60 volt (line and neutral) but it may be due to non earth ground bonding? The videos I’ve seen with this issue the inverter is not earth ground bonded. There is a small nut on the bottom of the case for bonding.
Great video! I have the 3000W version like the 1500W you have, the label on the output terminal is also wrong just like this unit. i did not know that they make this version. Can this unit bond Neutral and Ground?
Great information! Question, I have an opportunity to get a 12/3000watt Samlex inverter for$475 through work, if I installed this on my truck, would a single battery run power tools? I have room for a second battery under the hood.
Unless you have a deep-cycle battery you'll need to have your truck running while using it. Also depends on the tool. The topical deep cycle is 100Ah, so 100A x 12V is 1200Watts.
@@Roll2Videos ok, thanks, yes I plan to have the truck running, want to use it as a generator basically, instead of hauling a generator to each job site for small jobs.
I'm a big-time rookie but I did not see what you did with the resistor. Are you touching the positive cable to the resistor and the resistor to the inverter?
On a lot of web pages and RUclips videos a fuse is added between the battery and inverter. A common size is 300 amps. I have not done that, and I see that you have not done that either. Is a fuse needed or not?
Can I tin the wire strands that I connect to the power block instead of using ferrules? Also, I am going to use the inverter and a 100ah LiFePO4 battery as backup power for a 1/2 hp water pump that pumps from a cistern into a pressure tank to supply water to my house. This is in Mexico. My power here goes out for hours at time several times a year, so I would only use the setup rarely. I plan to disconnect the battery from the inverter when regular power is up and running. Is that okay?
Just so people know if you want to run things like air conditioners and stuff like that you can run it on that 3000 W inverter yeah he’s right obviously have to have a battery bank plus a couple more batteries but just for reference those appliances that take heating elements like toasters pizza pizzazz isspace heaters they all take 1800 W so that is more than enough power to use it
What if you don't run your microwave refrigerator or heater all at the same time You only plug it in when you need to . Would you still need all those batteries to run it?
Hello, I just bought Duracell 3000 Watt High Power Inverter for my semi truck, I have 4 batteries ( 4 batteries AGM 31 Capacity: 100AH; Cold Cranking Amps: 1150 Reserve Capacity Minutes: 220), Distance between batteries and inverter location is 16-18 feet, which wire(cable) and which fuse you recommend and where I can buy it ?
@@Roll2Videos Hey man,. Thanks. You don't know how many times I have asked that question. You are the first to give me a straight up answer. Thanks again.
It completely depends on how you intend to use it. I also have videos on low-frequency inverters. For the average camper/RV where heavy loads are run by propane, these investors are ideal and cheap options. Thank you for your comment.

Thank you! You have some amazing content, I just had a quick look nice work I'll have to check out your stuff further.
Quick question- why do you run two positive and two negative wires from battery to inverter ? Thx in advance

I don't think your car battery and alternator can handle 300A.
So how big an inverter do I need for an rv with fridge, convection/micro combo, coffee maker and instapot.
@@lorigeorge8477 I would suggest getting a watt meter to find out. 👍

Could you post info on your "O-SCOPE". Thanks
I've added it to the description of the video. Thank you I didn't realize I never put a link up.
Line neutral is not a issue. This inverter is not bonded to ground/earth and their paperwork says not to bond.
3rd comment on this video today... Thank you to for pointing this out.

Can this unit bond Neutral and Ground?
As far as I know the neutral and ground do not bond. Floating system
@@Roll2Videos So can you bond them without damaging the inverter? Thanks!
@@budmartin3344 I would not suggest bonding. Only with a breaker panel that is grounded. Depending on your use case

Great video, so glad I ran across this. Can you give me the specs on that resistor you use to soften the input to the inverter? TIA.
Yeah, Just a 10w resister.

Yes, For around 10 seconds with Lithium batteries.
On a lot of web pages and RUclips videos a fuse is added between the battery and inverter. A common size is 300 amps. I have not done that, and I see that you have not done that either. Is a fuse needed or not?
It would help if you did that. A fuse or breaker is added to protect the gauge of wire you are using, so it dosen't over heat and catches fire.

Depending on the size of your pump. For my well I'd need off the top of my head 3 100 Ah and a 3000W low frequency inverter.
You may have save lives.

Can I use one 12v battery to run a 3000 W Inverter to power a 8000 BTU Air conditioner ?How long it would last ?
It depends how many Ah your battery is. 3000W at 12V you'd need around 250A @ 12V. Then 250Ah battery would last 1 hour
What if you don't run your microwave refrigerator or heater all at the same time You only plug it in when you need to . Would you still need all those batteries to run it?
No, You would only need one for the loads you are running.
Is this inverter enough to power up a 230V air compressor with out put off 1100 watts ??
Depends, on whether you are in North America or not. If you're in North America this is only a 120V single-phase
Hello, I just bought Duracell 3000 Watt High Power Inverter for my semi truck, I have 4 batteries ( 4 batteries AGM 31 Capacity: 100AH;
Cold Cranking Amps: 1150
Reserve Capacity Minutes: 220),
Distance between batteries and inverter location is 16-18 feet, which wire(cable) and which fuse you recommend and where I can buy it ?
Hello, Depends on how much power you want to use. If you want the full 3000W, you'll need a 4/0 cable with a 300A ANL fuse.
@@Roll2Videos do you know what the amp draw will be 3000w at 24volt?
That determines the wire and fuse.
Awesome channel Young Man
@@boscodog4358 3000W÷25.6V (LFP) = 117 amps I'd go with a 1 AWG with a 120A fuse/breaker

@@boscodog4358 😁 You are welcome
I can see you use three different brand names 100 ah battery with this inverter, is that safe?
I can't think of why it wouldn't be
I’m new to this so how do you charge the batteries back up?
With either an AC to DC charger or a solar charge controller with solar panels. Welcome to the hobby. Enjoy 😁👍
Do you think I could put this in an enclosed trailer to power a tire machine ,balancer and a 30 gallon compressor?
Will be used daily as my only source of power
@@jmoney3338 it seems like a lot, I couldn't tell you for sure if it will.
220 v or 124 ?

nice video
Thank you
highly informative. great video as usual!
Thank you! I was shocked to find the terminal block information backwards.
Thanks for the comment 🙂
High frequency, inverters like this unreliable unit, offer a poor surge capacity, that won't start or run, inductive loads like log splitters.
It completely depends on how you intend to use it. I also have videos on low-frequency inverters. For the average camper/RV where heavy loads are run by propane, these investors are ideal and cheap options. Thank you for your comment.
