A friend of mine asked if I could have a look at a 2000W Pure Sine Inverter he got off someone for free after it had been connected to a battery the wrong way round.
He thought to himself I know just the man to look at this (which is how I ended up looking at it).
The inverter appears completely dead, let's take it apart and see how much damage has been caused due to reverse polarity! and hopefully repair it!
Some of the tools I use:
The Famous Blue Mat: amzn.to/47bPNGK
170 piece electronics tool kit (security bits): amzn.to/3FGLWpr
Aixun T3A Soldering Station: amzn.to/3u2SBri
Infiray P2 Pro Thermal Camera: amzn.to/47c05Xm
Soldering Flux: amzn.to/3Qn8Yq7
Low Melt Solder: amzn.to/3QICZ5r
Component Tester: amzn.to/46UcHm6 alternative (slightly cheaper) amzn.to/49yZSzJ
Overhead Camera Mount I Use: amzn.to/3tX8Ar4
Microscope Light (I use on my Trinocular): amzn.to/3FEAPgy
AD409 Pro Microscope 10" Screen: amzn.to/3G0CI7P
Extra Long Torx Drivers(used on Milwaukee radio): amzn.to/40siUU3
DC Power Adapter plugs 38 PCS: amzn.to/49lCUMm

So cool! A free inverter! Just a quick suggestion: I'm an electronics technician, and after a repair, I plug everything in, but I don't assemble a unit before the test. That way if it smokes or sparks during the test, I can see where it came from so I know where to look to find the problem.

Sometimes I do a quick test off camera, reason is if I test it and it works then people probably won't watch the rest of the video. Sometimes like on the Milwaukee impact driver I recently repaired I do a test and then do a real world test such as using the tool instead of just showing it spinning. Thanks for the feedback though Sadie, much appreciated 👍

Saving pennies while also ensuring most customers will have to buy a new unit rather than faf with blown soldered fuses. Planned obsolescence is most common for the more expensive, specialty items. Big Man CEO says to himself: "hey, if the customer can afford one of these, then surely they can afford two" It's gross. It's predatory behavior like that which Apple basically has incorporated into their whole business model. "We're serializing these parts so that stolen phones can't be parted out" I've heard Apple zealots say that if every other manufacturer always serialized all their phones parts, then people would stop stealing phones. Really? Do they think they understand the mindset of a thief? My town is full of homeless tweakers who would steal anything, serialized or not. If they couldn't sell it or part it out, they'd steal it just to take it apart, or just simply because they *could* steal it. There's no way to stop device theft. In my old apartment building, people stole my cat toys to throw them away, simply because they didn't like me. You can't presume that a thief is going to act based on rationality. That is not the criminal mindset. Apple serializes parts for profit, which results in more landfilled devices, yet they want to present a "green" image.

I find myself incredibly excited and hopeful that one day with some tuition from a local electronics genius, I will be able to repair expensive (and those awful cheap) gadgets that are so often written off, when they break, by the companies/repairers that make or fix them. I've lived for 35 years with offgrid solar systems. Watching the horribly expensive demise of seven high quality inverters in that time, mostly due to lightning strikes and irresponsible installers, has become too much for me financially and in principle, NOT to try to do something about fixing them, so I'm learning how. While I'm waaaay off fixing the old SEA inverter that blew up mysteriously a short time ago ($6000 to replace it with a similar model and $2000 quoted for the capacitors and presumably other components plus labour), I had a win today fixing a big spot lighting torch I found in a skip, by resoldering two broken wires on the control boards, and replacing the battery and a spade connector to one terminal. Someone threw it away. I was able to get it working again. That's where I begin. Simple is a good place to start. The exercise is learning how, even if the thing cant be repaired. The inverter it seems may be able to be repaired for a few hundred dollars if I do it under the tutelage of a qualified electrician who can make sure it's a safe repair, a process that is underway. I'm already some of the way forward when I can diagnose what went wrong and that's why I pull things apart, BEFORE I throw them away. And I find so much that can be recycled in the componentry. Videos like this help by teaching me what's what and why it's there and what is possible with some out-of-the box thinking. As soon as I saw the soldered spade fuses, I thought "oh that's silly, what if... and voila! simple is best. A great way to see how it's done by the experts. Thanks.

@@BuyitFixit _They probably didn't bother adding them to save a few pennies..._ The problem with that type of fuse is generally with the holders - depending on the environment that it is used in it would be possible for corrosion to introduce a high resistance into the main current feed, and at 2kW (which I seriously doubt unless those fuses were rated in excess of 160A) this would lead to some serious heat from the dissipation. When I changed the batteries in my UPS I noticed the fuses were soldered in, and it is a reputable brand and not a cheap unit.

This looks like my EDECOA Inverter. I had one with "3000W"! I think it could do the power theoretically. I wanted to power a big amp with a big toroidal transformer... it worked one and a second time, but on the third time it went booooom. Smoking the Sh*t out of the IGBT and the IGBT Driver. I replaced everything and it worked again. So I tried it a second time. The same, after 3 cycles it went boom again. After loosing enough money because of these cheap inverters I bought a Victron MultiPlus, because I don't want to burn my camper down, and now all is fine. It uses a big toroidal transformer for step up and step down, and I think it has a few advantages for driving heavy loads.

Hi, It is good to see that the MOSFETs and protection diodes are not blown. However, I never would do so kind of a repair, i.e., extending the fuses with cables, in such a high current path. The best you can do is to find some quick-fit sockets that are fitted to the AC output cables you removed during repair and then solder them into the PCB by shortening their cable side legs (to let them fit into the PCB holes). Then you can easily put the fuses on these PCB-type sockets that you create. Hence, in a repair, you would also be made removable fuse holders in that board which will be healthier than a cable extension when one considers the high current flowing along these lines. BW

Thank you so much, this has been really helpful. Different 'brand' name, different power rating. But the one I have has all the exact same major components, the same manufacturing methods, even identical packaging and info. markings. Clearly out of the same factory. It is so difficult to find reliable repair info. for this kind of stuff. So surprised at the cheap fuses, when the build quality is comparatively good and the majority of components are actually reasonably good quality. Ship, spoil and 'hapeth' of tar spring to mind. I am 90% sure there used to be a copper automotive spade jumper available - very short, all one piece, male at one end, female at the other. These would have soldered directly into the board slots and effectively made 'sockets' for the plug-in fuses.

On most inverters, if you reverse the polarity, the fuses pop before anything else is damaged. I had to do this same repair several years back because I bought an inverter on eBay that was "Spares or repairs" due to the original purchaser getting their wiring confused. It sounded like aggro, but it was too cheap not to get and try to fix. All that was wrong was that one was the 3x 30A internal fuses were all blown. As you said, it's a stupid idea for them to be soldered to the board, so I found 3x surface mount blade fuse holders, Dremeled a neat bank of holes for them in the end plate, and connected the holders to the board by soldering (IIRC) 10AWG silicon wire between them. I remember the thick wires made it fun getting everything back together, but it looked pretty much like it was mean to be like that when I'd finished. ...... And after all my messing about to make the fuses easily accessible, Sods law meant that I never had to swap them again. :D . I only replaced that inverter when I wanted one with a bit more power, and I think the friend I gave that one to still uses it to run a PC in his camper van.

@andytipping70

think they solder the fuses to reduce contact resistance and so heat generation from iffy joints. by extending the cabling, I think you have significantly increased the resistance on the input side - so the output will turn off at lighter loads or higher supply current.
@BuyitFixit
@BuyitFixit 9 месяцев назад
Would that not be the about same as having the incoming supply lead extended by around 6" ? I did use fairly thick cable and x2 on each contact. Someone also mentioned about soldered in fuses but I've worked on plenty of cars that don't have the fuses soldered in. I know the resistance would be lower but I don't think it will make that much difference.

One thing you can do with these is use it to excite an isolation transformer and use that to get grid tie type inverters to give extra juice from a whole house type solar panel system if the grid goes down. Need an isolation switch and a simple battery charger to keep the inverters battery source charged. So long as your draw is about 70% of panel capacity this works fine.❤
@tactileslut
@tactileslut 8 месяцев назад
I tried that once without adequate isolation. The inverter tied DC- to HVDC- and AC-ground which led it to overload itself when the house shorted neutral to ground. It put a notable voltage between the body of the car and the floor. At the end of the day the charger was dead too. Whoops. More stuff to fix.

However, I think certain types of fuses may still be tinned copper, such as the smaller ATM style. I had a car which leaked rainwater into the interior unbeknownst to me. It sat with moisture in the interior for weeks and every fuse corroded terribly due to aluminum fuse tabs reacting to the copper fuse holder terminals. Was a terrible repair.

There are pcb fuse holders for ATO fuses but usually rated to 20A. These fuses go thru a lot of temperature cycles that will wear down the contracts. This is a cause of problems in cars. Better to solder them in. Temperature is important. Don't be surprised when a 30A fuse is only 20A at 40°C.

Norcal715 has a few videos about what you need to do to fix these, basically replace all fuses, all mosfets and the 10R gate resistors, and the driver transistors, then look for any other faults like dying capacitors on the power rails. You do need a pretty big and high power soldering iron to unsolder the fuses, all the copper sucks the heat away. Best for new fuses is to take some copper crimp blade connectors and flatten the wire end, then solder those in, and place the fuses in the blade connectors end. That then puts them in the same location, and you just use a small shrink sleeve to insulate the ends sticking up.
