Inverter Installed



Inverter brand name: WZRELB


Specs: 3000 watt pure sine wave power inverter 24VDC to 120 VAC 6000@ peak built-in soft starter. Dual AC outlets. 2 -2.4Z USP ports. Hardwire Terminal. 


Bought on Amazon about $300.


Replaced a Trace modified sine wave inverter. 2500 watts with a 7000 surge. 


So . . . how’s it work?


So far, so good. It handles my ½ horse well pump while supporting other normal loads. That’s the big issue. It wouldn’t be of much use of I couldn’t rely on the well pump. 


LED lights work perfectly with the new inverter, unlike with the old one. 


The old modified sine wave did not power an induction stove top. The lights and fans would come on, but it wouldn’t heat anything. The new inverter powers it just fine. 


The new inverter does everything I wanted it to do. It’s not powerful enough to weld with, but I don’t need it for that. My house is only partially off grid. The grid connection handles things like welding and I can top off the battery bank from the grid. For me, grid connection basically does those things a generator would do in a truly off grid system.

  1. If you could a 30 day follow-up would be nice. I've found over the years that most electronic issues occur within 30-60 days unless lightning was involved.

    Thanks
