I'm totally convinced that inverter will actually put out 4000w.
They usually do. I just got that inverter yesterday, so tests are coming, but in the past I was using 1200W inverter to run 1500W oven on my boat. Boat had good cooling, so inverter would perform for 7 minutes before going into overload/overheat.
Than it would take more investigation what "peak" means for the manufacturer. I'd expect 5 seconds, so good for starting electric motors at 2 HP.
TEST RESULTS.
The inverter did start and run 3HP rated vacuum cleaner.
The single battery voltage dropped to 10.8V and output to 90V, but the thing run for several seconds test.
Lot of variables to consider. The included cables are 6mm-sq or 8 g, so lot of things can be improved.
Still very impressive for very small & light inverter with pure sine.
Isn't technology amazing?
