hello all,
just giving a little update. i've been powering my espresso/coffee trailer with my 2 CPE inverters without a single hiccup.
the trailer is setup as follows
constantly running are,
2 45 watt CFL bulbs
commercial fridge about 400- 600 watts
water heater about 1000 watts (occasionally)
water pump .5 amp
small stereo
i run the 2 inverters on econ all day because the espresso machine automatically kicks on every 10 min or so with a load of 1700 watts. the gens keep right up with it.
when i brew coffee, i'll put the espresso machine on standby and turn on the brewers (1300 watts).
i'm very happy with my choice.
i brought the gens in to change the oil today, first change, only about 10 hours on each one.
the oil was pretty dark and i noticed a few metal splinters on my hands where i spilled some oil, i'm guessing that's normal on the first oil change. Prof, does the 100 hour recommendation for the oil change seems adequate?
one issue i'm going to fix this week is, i want to add a quicker disconnect to the ground terminal for the parallel kit. it's not east to move them both at the same time without unscrewing the ground nut with a nut driver.
OT- anyone out there have an easy method to keep a trailers exterior lights on while disconnected from the tow veh.? send me a message.
have fun
Jay
