Hi. I am using a 375w phoenix inverter and plan on plugging in a 250w heater. It works fine but as the unit is under load the fans come on and stay on as long as the heater I have plugged in is running. Is it going to be bad for the fan if I run the heater overnight so the fan will be run constantly for several hours at a time. With how fast and loud the fan is I feel that running it so hard for so long over a period of time will just kill it. Any advice welcome.
The Phoenix 375VA model has a continuous output power of 300W at 25 degrees or 260W at 40 degrees. These are ambient air temperatures.
I would plug the heater in and double-check the power draw. If it's still under the above specification, then it will be fine to operate.
Hi ,
I have an older Victron Phoenix 350/700 inverter.
What is the tickness of the 1,5m long cable....4 of 6mm2 ? (12 of 10 AWG?)
The manual says by vertical mounting that the "fan" must be at the bottom side .... why?
Does the fan "suck in" cool air ?
Or does the fan "blow out" the warm air?
