Review on ⚡️ GO POWER GP-IC3000-12: Unleash Your Power on the Go! by Jack Ngo

The IC-3000 is touted as the first inverter that inverts both branches of the 50A AC network. ", so I bought this unit. After calling Go Power Support again, it turned out that this feature is ONLY available on Hot 1. It also turned out that the controller was supposed to limit shore power, but it only limits power on Hot 1. Hot 2 only works through, but the UPS (Shore Power Failure Prevention) function works on both Hot 1 and Hot 2. What does this mean for the average backpacker You MUST rewire the breaker panel, all that you want to operate in power distribution must be hot the manual is misleading by suggesting dividing the source by 1/2 I connected my camper to a 15 amp shore power and ended up melting my extension cord when Hot 2 was drawn over 15 A, even though I had set the maximum shore current to 10 A. If you're planning on using this with a generator, you're going to have all sorts of questions! There are fluctuations when using the charger in ECO mode on my Honda EU2200i. I had to reduce the load rate by 50% otherwise it kept going into bulk and float mode. With an AGM 600a battery, this increases the charging time significantly. I thought I could get work done quickly in the morning. Also, if you're running on a generator, running anything on hot 2 will overload you. You will also get fluctuations on the AC side. I have noticed that the generator goes on and off in ECO mode and does not maintain a constant speed. I also find it strange that the device has a voltage cut off, but its maximum setting is 100V. NEMA suggests no more than +/- 10%. I don't want to be in the park with my air conditioning or electronics running at 105V, which is a low voltage range and is extremely taxing on AC compressors. A lower voltage can lead to an even higher current draw from the shore grid. The final issue is that every once in a while something will happen when you're in power-sharing mode. The IC-3000 suddenly no longer receives electricity from the shore and only runs on the inverter. Keep your pajamas on, because in the middle of the night when your batteries are low, you may need to do what GoPower Tech Support calls a "cold boot." In this case, turn off the main AC power switches, turn off the shore power, and then disconnect the battery. Then wait 60 seconds and do the process in reverse order. When the battery is disconnected there is a loud click from what I am told is the relay. The person I spoke to said it was normal but it doesn't seem to be. Now your battery is completely dead leaving your shore or generator running at full capacity and you need to limit your AC usage as you don't have power sharing now as your batteries are dead. Not unique to GoPower, but fans can be noisy. and works almost always when the charger is running. Suggest that you move away from any area where you intend to sleep. The compartment where the chip is installed gets moderately hot, be sure to ventilate it. With other inverter chargers, these problems are solved. Consider Mastervolt or Magnum.
