Installed 1500 Watt Inverter And POP
Ok got a 1500 watt Inverter , it came with 2 gauge wire and a ANL inline fuse.
Appears very good quality..
Ok read all the instructions , seems simple enough.
I feed the cables through the floor , route them over to where I have 2 batteries hooked up in parallel.
I check voltage to the inverter 13.1 .
Thinking that's ok , I turn the inverter on the display reads 13.0-12.9 voltage coming in.(nothing hooked up to it)
Then about 5 seconds POP and a little smoke comes out from the cooling fan and the front air gaps where if the fan was on the air would blow through.
Then the alarm goes off reading high voltage ????
I recheck everything installed just like what the directions read .
So I take one of the two batteries out of the equation and only have it hooked up to one battery check the voltage 12.9-13.0
Turn on the inverter again , no pop just alarm sound and display reading high voltage.
Do NOT have the engine running or have the shore power line plugged in either.
Any ideas ?
