Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ AEliussine 1500W Pure Sine Wave Inverter 48V DC to AC 110V 120V with LCD Display - Power Inverter for Car/Off-Grid Solar System (1500W 48V LCD) by Chris Smotherman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

It seems to be working fine though.

The unit was well packaged with power cords appropriate for its size. I connected it with the supplied cables which are a pair of 10mm2. parallel positive and negative. I will switch to 2Ga single cores if I mount these permanently. The display is nice but very small, the characters are small and you have to look straight in the eye to read them. The instructions provided are better than most and contain a lot of useful information for those of you who are new to the inverter. Now for the test, first there was a 1 minute run on a 1000 watt microwave. The first thing I noticed was that the input voltage of the device was about 3 tenths lower than the terminal voltage of my system. This may be because my test setup used a slightly longer length of wire. The microwave worked as it should, drawing 95 amps from my battery. The display showed 120 VAC and 9.1 amps on the AC line, which is very close to the MW rating. More importantly, it cooked as it should, compared to running this MW on an MSW inverter, which provided about 60% of the cooking power. Now here's something. Note that there is a RED LED inside the unit which scared me to death when I first spotted it through the vents. I thought he was on fire! Upon closer inspection, however, I found that it was an LED. You really should use GREEN. OK, so it was good at that moment. I then tried pouring a full pot of water through a standard coffee maker, which draws 800 watts from the mains and takes about 10 minutes. This has now caused the device to heat up a bit, with the temperature reading on the device rising to almost 40 degrees. What I noticed is that the fans didn't work up to this temperature and at first I thought they wouldn't work but they did, but not for more than 30 seconds. It seemed like a very short time. But they did several cycles during the 10-minute run but never dropped the temperature below 38 degrees. One of the fans seems to be a bit noisy and rough, which I'll check today. This worries me since my test was conducted in an ambient temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Hopefully I can test at a higher starting temperature today. This morning the inverter was off all night and I wanted to do one more quick test, a 3 minute run, so I turned it on and the display lit up with no errors, all voltages are fine. I connected MW and NOTHING! nada, so I connected it to shore power to make sure it was working and turned it on, plugged it back into the inverter and nothing :( So I decided to just cycle the inverter off and back on by using the Turn off power switch, wait a few seconds and then plugged it back in, plugged in MW and it worked! Hmmmm that's weird. So I guess I'll see if it happens again or if it's just a one-off glitch. That's all for now , will update later after further testing. status update. , now it's installed in my van and runs from a 2ga wire to a 100ah battery, for the last two days it's only powered my fridge on 110v AC , fairly warm weather of 36-38C. I will update again when I have more time.
