Due to a miss-wiring, my inverter is no longer working. Is it worth repairing? And where can it get repaired?

I would recommend at least 4 BIG batteries all directly wired to the inverter. Also the "start" load seems a bit light (10.8A), that's a capacitor start motor, and I bet it's drawing close to 2000 watts, and if there is a weak link in using an inverter, it's that batteries are not good at providing a Lot of power for an instant. I had a similar issue, and after re-wiring my battery bank to supply 4 wires to the inverter, the problem was resolved. (I have a bank of 10 Very large deep cycle batteries) The inverter will shut down, if the voltage drops below 10.5 Volts. So another thing I would do is only try this, when the batteries are fully charged. (12.8 volts or higher) Good luck. I would recommend at least 4 BIG batteries all directly wired to the inverter.

mine is now broke this is the 2nd one - i don't remember. i got a better inverter that is pure sine wave - works much much better but is double the cost. but i think the fan is supposed to shut off - that's what my new one does. these cobras are not very good inverters in my opinion.. the fan should shut off but if it's a heavy load it will stay on. it should be off under no load.

Thanks for your advice. I will try to see if I can fix it by powerstrip.I will let your guys know my result.

Yes but the problem is that they have used a cheap inverter. After a few uses the thing fries and can't be fixed so it's JUNK. FORGET BUYING THIS PIECE OF CRAP!

I'm also in the same problem. Anyone have A home repair solution? Prior to this I had the power on problem which was solved by upgrading some blown capacitors.

Offhand, I would say the cables from the batteries were too long and or too thin. So the voltage dropped too low at the inverter and caused it to think the batteries were low and shut down.

It's kind of a novelty in a vehicle, but cut the wire near the inverter and strip the outer insulation there will be a red and white wire. red is +12v and white is common or ground. The wires are probably around 18 awg stranded aluminum so the current passed through is very small. You might squeze more power out by hardwiring it to the board, no doubt voiding the warranty if it has one.

If the rating is different from what you need I might not chance it. Or if you do, get the invertor from someplace like walmart where you can return it if it doesn't work.

Contact Illy online for list of repair stations. Might be less expensive to buy another rated for 220 current.

Prob not well, get an ac to DC voltage rectifier and that should fix the problem

The input is 22-60vdc you will work close to The low limit if tour panel generate les than this voltage your invertir will be off, muy suggestión is add another panel to increase The input. Good luck.

Mine worked fined. Recheck your wiring or have a service tech check your furnance.

Mine starts great, can't complain at all. My first one had problems with the inverter and they sent me a new one, no problems since.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

Hi Edward,This is the right way to use the inverter>>> http://www.amazon.com/review/R3RTW2NTIXFOON/Hope this helpsRegards,Angela CS Email Representative

I never was able to use the invertor they sent. It did not have a 3 hole prong outlet, as advertized....I returned to Amazon for full credit... Sorry no help for U....
