I've had it to either way
Got a GS unit
Just tested with all my loads on it except for the dryer
66% load fans running part time only
Never got hot
Did beep at me when the second pump kicked on in the well system but didn't have any issues with it
I have to say I'm always slightly amused when I see customers using the "screen flip" function. Ain't any other inverters out there that let you do that one!
I have 10 renogy solar 100W solar panels, 60A MPPT controller and an 8000W Lyabe 24V in/ 220V out split phase inverter. 5kw lithium ion batteries 24v with a simple 2 gang breaker box populated with 2 15A 120v breakers terminating in 2 15A duplex receptacles. I checked the inside of the inverter and it is 100% Power Jack, with a 4 cap main board and an asf-7 transformer. It works well other than low power output. I suspect the DIP switches are set wrong, but without the technical info don't want to screw things up.
Added a fuse holder

Added a fuse holder
Exact same fuse and mount i use. As well as the copper terminals. Love it.
It came with the terminals but I didn't use the 400A fuse that came with it
Stuck with my 300A
And.....back to the PJ unit
FET failure

Gotta love the short protection on those batteries
I've had 2 inverters short now and the battery cuts power before the fuse can blow
Agreed. A bit hard on charge controllers though.
I use a pair of LA batts to take that punishment.
The way this goes down is inverter shorts
Battery opens
Charge controller gets clamped to 0 shutting it down
Sure. Just depends sometimes.
If the circuit stays closed, no issue.
If it opens, voltage is inclined to spike towards infinity - destroys charge controllers.
A known issue with BMS protected batts.
My charge controller won't start without battery voltage
If I just connect the solar input the battery terminals stay at 0
If I unhook the battery it stays at the max charge voltage I set it to
It is limited to the input voltage (60V) in my case
