The Weather And Chinese Inverters :)
Gusty winds and big waves will accompany the Bay Area’s biggest storm of the week Wednesday night, with some parts expected to receive thunder and more than an inch of rain. This will surely test t...

BFL13 knows of what classical Chinglish this refers to. It alludes to a "superior heavyweight inverter with genuine toroid copper transformer". A selection all the way up to 15,000 watts. They have prints of flowers and birds on their case. Problem is the rating review system. 1.5 stars out of 5.0 Advertised as a 240 volt AND 120 volt unit. "But cannot run together" says the small print. "It's 40 degrees out of phase!" complained one techie customer "Smoked starting a one horse 120 volt well motor" complained another, with the 11,000 watt model.
BPL13 later pointed out in the list of attributes the manufacturer listed the inverters as being "thunderproof". I didn't get that far as my eyes were watering and ribs were hurting.

Beware of untested (unreviewed or under-reviewed inverters). My medical hideout inverter is a SAMLEX 300, Battery is a Lifeline 29 and charger is the BORG. All of which is to power a BiPAP. No longer amusing because as I have aged, if I go without assisted breathing I can stay in bed all day, sleep in fits of one and two hours and still feel like someone drained 80% of my blood. Yes I do use the Respironics BiPAP on direct 12 volts. And total sleep hours amounts to perhaps twelve. Because I am unable to go deeper than first stage of sleep and awaken 100 times per hour (sleep lab result?). Anyway it's getting worse without the machine. A miracle paired me with a new circuit board on eBay the machine went obsolete early this year.
Point being if a C or BiPap needs AC stay the hell away from cheap untested PSW inverters.
