I have a Pheonix 12/250 inverter and it has served me well, I have used it to charge my laptop and power tools.
When doing this charging the fan comes on on the inverter.
However, I bought a 120W ice cube machine which should be well under the load capacity. In standby there is no problem but when I activate the ice function, after about 20 seconds or so the inverter vibrates suddenly quite loudly and then shuts off with the alarm light on. The fan doesn't come on.
I think the lights were a solid red light with green light flashing twice which would indicate overload, but the device should be well under the inverter capacity.
The device states 120W, 0.8A, 220-240V.
I was wondering what could be the problem?
Thanks, Ross
