Hi Guys, First post here: and I'm not all that experienced posting anywhere else either.
I reversed the polarity of "Powertech" 1100w Pure Sine Wave (PSW) inverter. That blew all 6, 30 amp fuses. I replaced the fuses but inverter is dead. Damn!
I know I am out of my depth, but I don't think I have much to lose by trying to fix this thing. I have fiddled with electric stuff for the last 50 years and know enough not to fry myself - there are some decent capacitors in this circuit. I have an amateur radio licence but managed to pass the exams without fully understanding all the theory.
My primary aim is to learn, it would be a real bonus if I could also repair the inverter for less money than buying a new one.
The problem is I don't know where to start.
And I am not sure if I should be posting on this thread (which I enjoyed reading and seems relevant) or starting a new thread?
