inverter

Ammost done here, but cant figure out last few things to keep my setup safe and have peace of mind when I use and leave my boat. 1971 Catalina 22, with a 100 watt solar panel, 100 ah Li time lithium battery, MPPT victron 100/20 controller, 150 amp bus bars, and a (Giandel, pure sine wave) 600...

My Xantrex 1800 inverter just smoked and died. It has been in my Morgan 43 since 2007. 18 years is a good run for an inverter. I could get a replacement new unit for $1,700 which would make installation easy, but it would be 25 year old tech and less efficient than newer units. I could get...

I have a Mastervolt 12/2000 (120v) Mass Sine inverter that works with a modest load ~1000W but resets if the load is anything more than that. The fans turn on for a second when turning the inverter on, and then nothing even with a load on it. Seems like the inverter isn't fully operating the way...

I recently purchase a 2018 Beneteau 38.1. The boat came with a factory stock microwave oven and a 700 Watt Marinco Inverter. The Marinco inverter would immediately trip the inverter so I assumed the 700 Watt inverter was overloaded and not enough to power it. I’m at a loss to understand why...

I currently have a Xantrex Freedom Marine charger/inverter on my Hunter 460. Periodically when AC power is coming in (connected to shore power or running the generator) all of the AC powered devices in the boat shut off. To get everything back on I have to take my open palm and slap the top of...

I’m installing a new Victron Multiplus 12/2000-80 120v inverter/charger and a Blue Sea custom AC panel. The system is still on the bench, so I am confident it is wired per the diagrams below. When running on shore power (i.e. plugged into the wall), everything is normal. When I unplug from...

Recently I attended a information session with Nigel Calder detailing replacing your generators with new marine technology that uses your main engine instead. It totally makes sense but I think the cost at this time makes it feasible for only larger boats with high energy needs. Below is a link...

I recently purchased my first boat! A Neptune 24 by Capital Yachts, called Bon Temps (good times). I have MANY upcoming projects in line to restore this boat, which is around the same age as me. I just mounted a Go Power GPSW-300 inverter, but have no clue where the chassis ground wire is...

My Freedom 20 that came with the boat only puts out 90 volts when inverting. I'm looking at 2000w replacements, but the space under the port settee is limited. Magnum and Go power pure sine inverter/chargers are two I've been looking at. They are bigger than the Freedom 20. The installation...
