Can someone explain if this inverter has a voltage component on the neutral line, or if the full 120V waveform is on the "hot" wire?

I have this unit . However you should contact the Manufacture to get a certain answer

It's all on the hot wire -- this is A/C. It's like regular house current. If you test from the hot wire to the ground, you get the voltage. If you test from the hot wire to the neutral, you get the voltage, but if you test from neutral to ground, you get nothing.

it is a pure sine inverter. The Flicker is caused by the deadtime at the zero crossing, adding a small resistive 100 watt load smooth's the output to where the flicker goes away.

Although I do not know the answer to your question what I do know is that when it cuts out for HIGH voltage, it sounds an audible signal and remains shut off until it is manually reset. I had that problem with a remote vacation cabin setup when the solar charge controller would automatically equalize the batteries which requires a high voltage (especially in winter and cold battery temps). I would return to the cabin weeks later to find the inverter making its alarm sound but turned off due to high voltage weeks before, and of course the refrigerator and everything else in the cabin would be off. So my impression is that the inverter requires manual resets but I can only answer from the viewpoint of having had an over-voltage cutoff but never had a low voltage cutoff. Sorry I can't specifically answer the question.

I'm sorry. Being quite familiar with inverters in general and this one in particular, I don't know what that could possibly mean nor does my manual on it reveal what it means.

I have this inverter, and my understanding is that it is pure sine wave. I use it to power my entire vacation house on a Caribbean island with no troubles, save for the fact that the vacuum cannot run at the same time as anything else.

If you have a 12 volt dc input to 120 V AC output inverter then you would want them in parallel. That will give you about 18V to the DC input of the inverter. If you were to put them in series the you could have up to 37.4 volts DC going to your inverter and if it is a 12 V DC input inverter that could be bad, depending on the over voltage protection offered by the design of the inverter.

You would have to get an inverter to have that work properly. It comes with an un-grounded, 2 prong plug that is meant for 120

I would, 2000 watts @ 12 volts = 166.6 amps. The hot leg of any circuit (AC or DC) should always be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker. If you don't have a manual on your inverter search the internet to try to find its spec sheet to find out its max load in amps then size your fuse (or breaker) just slightly larger then it's max amp load

That one stumped me too. Nothing in the instructions, although they do mention 12 VDC for that wire somewhere in a diagram. The instructions were horrible, and the thing never powered on. I returned it and got a refund. My suggestion is you do the same.

There is no fuse or circuit breaker on the input side of the unit (12 volt side). There is a GFCI outlet on the output (120 volt) side. Therefore, you will need to add a fuse to the Positive terminal of the 12 volt input side of the inverter.

Hello JD, I am assuming this is being set up on an RV of some sort, so yes you need to set up as a 12V system. No doubt 12V is the input required by your inverter. The voltage set up is determined by what is being run off the batteries. Hope this helps.

I only wish I knew.It just runs on a regular current....I do not know what an inverter is. I sure do like mine under my desk.

To my knowledge, all inverters have fuses. It is possible I am wrong, but I think they do.

I only used this inverter for a very short time and it worked well. Did not get a chance to verify if it was pure sine wave as I upgraded to a 24 volts inverter within short time

Hello Natalya, Thanks for your interest. It shows that its a 120V/600W on the back. You can check out the pics on the listing. Let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks,

What i have ran is zero gauge wire,(yes, it's huge but it carries all the current the inverter can produce) a raptor ranl1502 150 amp anl fuse, with a DB Link anlfh01 0-gauge anl fuse holder. You will also need a hammer crimper and wire lugs for the wire ends to connect to the inverter. I use an optima battery with top and side post and crimped lugs on the wires to connect to the side post on it as well. You can get the DB Link pw0r50z 0 awg positive wire on amazon for $74 for 50 feet right now. Otherwise you're looking at around $250 for other brands.

Peggy, if there is a 12vt fuse on the unit it may be inside. I had an external 125 amp fuse on the positive side between the invertor and my battery rack.
