Inverter connections

[wingnut771]

Guys, it's not that hard. Plugs have a limit, for instance, our SA plugs are limited to 16 amps at 230vac. OPs inverter has a plug design limited to 1.5kW, let's call it 6 amps. The inverter is 6kW (4 plugs times 1.5kw) with a 10kW peak.

But yes OP, if you have a 2.5kW load you can wire 2 plugs in parallel to power your load. Just do a good and safe job.

Never heard of 6A plugs so I find it quite random to put that limit on the outlets.

Thank you for confirming the possibility of parallel connections. Can you parallel all 4?

Most 5 to 7kva generators have 2 sockets that are paralleled to the db. There is a Ryobi 10kva that has 4 sockets. I would assume that they would also be paralleled, if wired to the db. The only other way to connect such a big load would be to have heavy-duty cables via suitable connectors, as done with most brand-name inverters.

Not too familiar with foreign plugs, may be one of those. 6A is quite low though, I suspect it may be due to the wiring or PCB tracks going to the plugs IE using thin wires or tracks to save a few cents. So a capable plug, but too thin a wire going to it.

Anyway, yes, you can wire all 4 in parallel.

Would that not be a quadrallel then? Trademark pending of course, along with the rights to the GoPro footage.

For appliances that require 2.5kW, a good and safe job would not include an inverter like this.
