I think my 10kva system would be fineOnly inverter I've had that could run power tools was a 2kw constant, 3kw peak model.
Connected to a large leisure battery, the front battery and the Td5 running
All other inverters have failed with grinders
You'd have to have a brain like mine to understand, so I reckon you lot aren't likely to do the same, ever..Please bother us with the details :-) So we can avoid doing the same.
Loads of people (inc Sparky's not familiar with them) get confused by DC-AC Inverters, what they can & can't do, and just how much current is needed (& the associated supply & cable size, demand on vehicle battery etc etc.Sorry for the delay in answering folks, but I just got out to the camper to have a proper look at this again.
The problem became clear straight away, my dyscalculia strikes again! I completely miss read the numbers on the inverter and on the grinder there was no way it was ever going to work
I won't bother you with the details, but thanks for all your replies, which are very much appreciated.
The daft thing is the chap helping me in the woods used to be a sparky (he wired my garage when I built it years ago) and he didn't notice my mistake either, he just muttered summat about sine waves, and that his generator had no petrol in it..
Sorry - just an attempt at humour.@Misterg Sorry you read that in a way that made you use the angry smilie, I can see why but it wasn't meant that way.
