Newer designed inverters
Anyone who has spent some time on eBay has seen the incredibly low priced Chinese inverters. Some of the spec are out right lies (5000W output using a 12V battery ? Right. Sure.) But there is a sp...

The newer tech is not cheaper, therefore it will not be used ...
WOW ! That is a pretty "broad brush" statement with no data to back it up !
That is a HUGE transformer in that MS2012. Copper is not cheap. and 20 MOSFETS to drive that amount of copper?!!! Those MOSFETs are likely wired in parallel (10 per side), so if one goes out, the other 9 have to pick up the load. Not likely that ehy can handle that and I'll bet the ?processor can't shut it down fast enough !!

And what do you think people use large inverters for
It's not for the tv set
It's for the MW , induction cooking, coffee maker, freezer, fridge, well pump..etc..
I understand that. The modern designs rely on higher frequencies to handle large start up loads.

Why don't you design and build this new small high powered inverter and bring it to market for a price 'we members' will pay
The basic designs are DONE, even to the board level. What is missing is a "supervisor" board and a lot of software. Thermal design, design and manufacturing (even out sourced manufacturing) is beyond my capabilities.

Only not economically feasible
That MagnaSine MS2012 at $1647 is "economically unfeasible" for many consumers.
