Finally 2000 watts!

I bought this in March 2021 along with many other fittings for my RV. I installed 2 Lynx LiFePO4 (excellent) 120Ah batteries, a solar controller, 2 solar panels, a Victron Smart Shunt and good quality 2 AWG copper wire. I knew that the cables that came with it would never handle the power required for 2000 watts. After my system was installed I ran some tests and was disappointed that the inverter could only produce about 1300 watts before shutting down. Discouraged, I continued my research and found that the most likely culprit was ordering pre-cut cables with 3/8" spade lugs. The battery requires 5/16" spade lugs and the shunt requires 3/8" spade lugs. After everything was cut to length and secured properly I tested it again and now it can handle over 2050 watts without tripping. It can also reach 2800W for a short time without shutting down. In short, this thing works as advertised, but you'll need to use quality cables and lug sizes or you'll never get there. The only negative I've seen is that this inverter puts out a maximum of 110V with no load, at 1400W I had 105VAC. At 2800 watts the voltage dropped to 101 VAC. Not ideal, but I doubt I'll ever need that much energy for any length of time.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
