Greetings, you are not going to believe what it was, the cables that I had from the battery to the inverter were very thin, (battery jump cables) that caused the overload.  As I had already bought another 8k P.J I disassembled this one for parts.  😬

Well, I am extremely glad you found the cause of the problem ;-).  I suppose I did not even consider that, mostly as you'd had the inverter working before.

Doesn't help on a PJ that there is no way to distinguish the error codes, otherwise it'd have been super easy to catch 😉

Yes, thank you all very much.

L2  on powerjack inverter go from  transformer to  AC  outlet .  Only L1  go to control board  .   Neutral go to AC outlet  and not to control board .   Neutral from transformer go to  the output board  on full size powerjack.    Non  split  control board  from powerjack  may be wired different      There are  many  different  version  of control board . I  had a  control   board   that  output  220v  single phase  when wire for  220v  spit phase  .   I had to get the correct  control board from  china  powerjack  helen  .  Thank you .

Sorry, @dickson it's not at all clear what's going on here...is this a question asking for help, or a statement summary for the thread?

Sorry  that this is only a statement  about the control board from ebay may not be correct .    I think  that it is  easy to just replace  any bad PS  control board  with your  GS  control board  .     Thank you .    I  use 4/0 cable  for dc input  and never use jumper cable  that cause  the inverter to beep  and overload .

I have exactly the same problem with my upowerr 15k 48v two phase inverter with 250amp charger, when I received it I didn't open it to check for loose parts and when I turned it on it burned control board and ac side mosfets I ordered new control board with charger and new mosfets and now it turns on fine it handles my soldering iron fine and my drill, but when I hook up my heat blower it's fine on low settings but when I put it on high it says 70%load and as it reaches 100% it will turn off in 10 seconds my dip switch is set as it was when I got it but it doesn't change anything.

 now it turns on fine it handles my soldering iron fine and my drill, but when I hook up my heat blower it's fine on low settings but when I put it on high it says 70%load and as it reaches 100% it will turn off 

My PJ 8kw  with ASL4 tramsformer  with rev 11.1 control board  will now do  2000 watts  before shutdown .   Your  15kw Upower with  rev 11.3 control board and ASL4  will  problably shutdown  at 2000 watts also .  My original rev 10.3 control board will do  4000 watt and  I  manually shutdown  or the FETs did blowup with no alarm  so I replaced it .     My 8kw PJ now  never blow up FETs  again .
