I bought a full sine wave inverter from china made by "Advanced". Now before you start saying things like "figures", what did you expect, etc etc..
I owned a 2K one of thiers which has run for 24/7 for over 4 years now with zero problems. I was averaging 300watts continuos and peaking at 1500 for no more then 15 minutes at a time. it runs my gas dryer, washing machine, dish washer, refridgerator, deck lighting a 42 in lcd tv, fios box, laptop and several phone chargers..
Anyway with the purchase of a new frdige (much bigger) and new washer/dryer also much bigger we needed more the 2K so I bought a 5K..
all that stuff works fantastic, except:
When charging phones and the lap top the touch screens would randomly press in places we didn't touch, every once in a while the ryer would say the door is open when it clearly was closed and the switch was shorted.. And every so often the washing machine would just lock up.
So I tested the inverter, I get a great pure sine wave even under heavy load, the total voltage never drops below 112v and never goes over 118v mostly sits at 115v-116v.
So I went to test for "noise" by testing voltage between the nutral and ground.. low and behold I got 65v! then between the hot and ground I got 65v. between the hot and nuetral (white) I get the 115-166...
I never saw this before, the 2k one delivers 115v between hot (blk) and nuetral (wht) and also 115v between hot and groun and zero betwen nutral and ground..
What can I do to get 115v from the blk and zero from the white... like it should be.
It was told to me by someone who claims to be an engineer that the inverter is actually 2 2500watt inverters at 65v. 65 on the blk and 65 on the wht, the way a standard 240v system would be setup.. But I figure there has to be a way to combine the two and then use the ground as nutral..
