Let’s delve a little bit into this:

  1. 11.C.1 – Inverter – Brand: The brand of inverter
  2. 11.C.2 – Inverter – Model Number: Model of the inverter.
  3. 11.C.3 – Inverter – Serial Number Serial number of inverter
  4. 11.C.4 – Inverter – General Condition:  How does it look, burned wires, etc?
  5. 11.C.5 – Inverter – Voltage output under 50% load: Make sure voltage does not drop too low, aka inverter is being overworked at 50% of load
  6. 11.C.6 – Inverter – Frequency under 50% load: Frequency is Hz, normal electric in the US is 60Hz,  check to make sure it does not drop
  7. 11.D.1 – 12V DC Chassis Battery – Location: Where is your chassis battery located?
  8. 11.D.2 – 12V DC Chassis Battery – Box Condition:  Is there a box surrounding them, how is it?
  9. 11.D.3 – 12V DC Chassis Battery – Cables and Terminals Condition:  are the connections corroded, etc
  10. 11.D.4 – 12V DC Chassis Battery – Vented and Secured:  Wet cell type batteries put out “gas”, they need to be vented to outside some how, are the batteries secured?

Next week we will check out the beginnings of multi-week series on water systems.

See you next week 🙂
