Inverter Repairs in Port Elizabeth. South Africa
Since stage 4 Load shedding has been introduced my workbench has been piling up with broken inverters and the reason for these breakages could all have been avoided
Low voltage batteries
Low voltage battery is the single biggest reason why these Inverters failed.
Now isn't this an a-ha moment!
Let me say this again " a low voltage battery will cause a higher current to flow through the inverter! And most electronic components cannot handle the higher current.
Another a-ha piece for you to digest!

Battery charger in an inverter cannot quick-charge
What this basically means if the power from the grid is off for 4 hours and back on again for a short time before it goes off again the inverter charger cannot get the battery up to its optimal performance level.
It also takes more to charge Gel batteries when its voltage is down. You basically need a separate quick charging battery-charger.
The last heads-up I want to run past you is
Fitt a voltage meter on the inverter battery
Better still fit an electronic voltage meter with an alarm. There are a couple suppliers that manufacture them but like everything here in Port Elizabeth it has to be ordered. (if you can't find them - go to Ann she can get you anything)
As always I hope this post has added some value to your day and given you some food for thought. Should you need more send me an email to highpoint525@gmail.com
Cheers!
