Hi
I am looking for a new inverter, it’s for a motorhome. I had a domestic 1600 installed but it has died- ironically when ther was no current drain….
I have three candidates, a phoenix smart inverter.
A phoenix compact and a multi. All 1600-2000.
Now all seem to indicate the same performance.
Apart fro the multi having a switch and battery charger, what would be the relative advantages and disadvantages of each.
I think the smart is low frequency, the others high. But what does this mean in real world terms. Which would run at full power longer, which is more reliable?
Both the first two have ac input protection, does this mean you could wire from motorhome input socket to both distribution network and the inverter? Ie turn inverter on when no connection but not needing a manual switch in the ac line to disconnect inverter when on shore power?
Max power needed 1400w (halogen oven- so intermittent high power use, or Dometic b2200 air con which uses 1000w). Small charger already in place. As are solar cells and mppt to charge lifepo4 batts.
I want to make an intelligent decision, so would like to know more about each before I do.
Thanks
