Kisae SW2420 PSW Inverter 24VDC-120VAC

Not a hard-wire version?

Me likes the 105c cap rating. Me likes even better a narrow carbon fiber bridge across the tops of the caps and lose the adhesive which is an insulator. Then deflect heat from the choke via a vertical plate of carbon fiber.

I got carried away and ordered 400 square inches of aluminized one-side .5 mm carbon fiber sheets. The chokes in my stuff seem to run around 45 to 55c at 25c ambient. I would be interested in seeing capacitor brand name, and power FET spec number and an image of the heat sink por favor. :)

I like the no load draw and the tight load sense ratings.
What happens above 10,000 feet elevation?

None that I know of. But as you can see from the picture, it would be pretty easy to do it yourself. The 120VAC sockets are GFCI.

And I'm curious to see how its "sleep" (200ma) mode works with our usage patterns.

Aren't those capacitors LG branded?
EDIT: Actually they are TEAPO capacitors or something like that

Here's another picture. Are those the Power FETs bolted to an Al bar down at the bottom mid-right? There's a bunch more items at the top that may be heat sinked similarly. Can't see any specs cause of the fasteners.
EDIT: Yes, there's 12 on the top of the picture clamped to the case, as well as the 4 big ones at the bottom also bolted to the ribbed Al case.

Don't think I'll ever go there, but the concern would be ... ???

YOU may have to rewire to get 2 kw

Think those are 20A GFCI Sockets.

The max output current is ~16.6A giving ~2000VA at 120VAC

But, yes, I have to look at the extension cord I'm using to run this to the AC distribution centre. Pretty sure it's 12 awg and it's only 10-15'.

Yes,they are.. good. So you're hardwiring it in?

Being the eternal skeptic I'd make sure it'll run a toaster from one of those outlets.

I've run the 12ga extension cord from the pass-thru to a 50A 120VAC relay near the 120VAC distribution panel. The NC contacts on the relay pass the inverter's AC to the panel, the NO contacts pass shore power. The relay closes when shore power is present.

So I just plug this extension cord into the inverter.
