I m from Pakistan , very wonderfull video ,Sir based on facts n truth. In my opinion Transformer based invertor definatly waste some energy ,but they last long ,further more transformer less invertor also waste energy at standby position ,which is same as equal as transformer based .
Your videos are very insightful. I usually watch your videos and American Will Prowse videos. I watched your video on batteries and decided to go for a lithium battery against what most installers were suggesting. I watched this video and decided to go for Hybrid Inverter. But shockingly and sadly it lasted for only three months, it was installed by a professional installer in July, and it stopped working on October 11, 2024. It just went off suddenly and since then refused to come up if you switch it on. I have come to watch this video again to see if there is anything I missed. It was a 6.2kva hybrid inverter, it never displayed any fault code. The only sign was one day, two weeks before malfunctioning, my wife complained she heard a strange noise from the inverter as if something was sparking inside. I listened and observed subsequent days, but never heard it. I don't know whether I did any wrong , I usually switch it off whenever when the grid power ( NEPA Light) is available or come on if the battery is fully charged. I heard you say frequent fluctuations can lead to damage. Is an inverter supposed to be permanently on once installed? what could make a hybrid inverter go bad so early? One person said load, but I have never given a load more than 15% of its capacity of 6.2kva. The highest load is when I put on water pumping machine which has a load 900w. Most times I switch off other appliances when pumping water. I never used AC on it. My questions to this community are 1) What are the things that could make a get bad so quickly. 2) are inverters supposed to be permanently on 3) is it advisable to use an external charge controller with hybrid inverter because am suspecting whether the charge coming from the 700w bifacial solar panels is too much for the inverter to handle. 4) which brand from experience of others are durable- there are just too many products or brands out there.
I came across your video today when I was researching how bonding inverter neutral to earth works. I have the axpert type transformerless hybrid inverter. To be able for the earrh leakage to work, inverter output neutral should be bonded to earth but I do not know if my inverter outout will be damaged. In my opinion one of the output mosfet banks will be shorted to earth in the process. Your thoughts on the matter will be appreciated.
Wonderful review. I’m planning on getting an inverter and I have two options before me, a transformer based hybrid inverter and a non hybrid transformer inverter with external charge controller. Apart from cost implications, which of the setup will have more advantages over the other?
can you explain the difference and pro and cons between real low frequency square transformer inverter and hybrid frequency toroidal technology like victron? victron say this technology have both low frequency and high frequency pros. but sure dont have 3 times surge power I see, thank you
I disagree with the second points. There are transformer inverters with that equal have inbuilt charge controller in it. And for the transformerless, the charge contoller can still with when the invertong section is fault as far as the inverter power section is still functioning
In Pakistan the prices of transformer less inverters are so high but transformer based ups or inverter prices are not much high. For now I am buying a T. Less inverter but I will make a T. Based inverter by myself. Can you tell me how much power is lost by T. Based inverter?
Inverters generally have a lot of buzzing sounds that indicate different things , from low battery to high voltage detecttion., error sounds and overload sounds , so its difficult to say which is applicable to you.
Nice video sir, one this to note is that they both use Transformer, the difference is that one uses iron core Transformer and the Orther uses high frequency Transformer which is generally much more smaller.
Great video fella, done all the tiny tears ones, but its only the heavy low voltage that cut it without a moan, and I’ve gone through a couple of good but mosfet driven machines, which all said were capable under load……hong Kong Fuji I’m afraid, Heavy rules if you power big things✌️
I bought the 2 transformer and non transformer I will install one in my Vilage and one in my abuja house. Installed already. From my experiment here I think transformer based is better with my external MPPT low noise and durable while the Transformer based is full of heat and noise. Hybrid is useless to me..
The charge controller and the inverter has a provsion on the body surface where you can connect your earthing wire and bond it with the existing earthing facilty in the house. If there is none in the house you will need to provide it. An earthing copper rod is usually inserseted in the ground.
Currently low frequency inverter that uses toroidal transformers are more efficient than transformerless inverter examples are yohako inverters and victron inverter,and not all transformerless inverters has a built in mppt,the main difference to me between the transformer and non transformerless inverters are the applications
Hello William we are are all saying the same thing I made it very clear in the video that high frequency inverter as a self device is more energy efficient, however it doesn’t operate well with high-surge loads like pumps and high-torque tools.
@@smilinsunsmilinsun8056 low frequency inverters handles surges well, you mean high-frequency inverters,what i was saying in my earlier reply was there are low frequency inverter with the same idle consumption as high frequency inverter there by throwing away the point of one is more efficient than the other
@@odeywilliams7596 I meant high frequency not low frequency but in all retrospect high frequency inverter is still more energy efficient than a low frequency inverter.
@@smilinsunsmilinsun8056 research on low frequency inverters that uses toroidal transformers and see why they are as energy efficient if not more than high frequency inverters,youll also know why victron inverters uses it everybod learns something new everyday
Its ok to say real inverters LF, vs, Bullshit inverters HF, only peoples who gets there little feelings hurt have either wasted there money already, or there never gonna accept the truth

@@mikizhero sorry to hear about your bad experience with a hibrid inverter, might be surge related or brand quality.

Is it normal for my xpert king 5kva to make a slight buzzing sound when on
Inverters generally have a lot of buzzing sounds that indicate different things , from low battery to high voltage detecttion., error sounds and overload sounds , so its difficult to say which is applicable to you.
What is " mosfet based trafomerless" ?
Thanks for your educational advice plz may you talk more about 48V mppts if they can charge a 36V battery bank there is Alot of confusion there 🙏
I have a question , what could the cause be ... panels are connected to the inverter and solar power indicates but not charging?
Is your inverter a highbrid
Very interesting, thanks. Will be looking forward for your next video
Thanks kindly subscribe if you haven't .

Thanks for the information
Ur video is clean. Sweet 4k resolution 🤗🙌
Very Informative and Helpful
Thank You Mohammed
You are doing well

Thank you so much for your comment
Nice video, are there no hybrid transformer based inverters?
There is
from what ive researched and tested it really depends on what the inverters are powering and at what Hz and voltage...
Thanks for lending your insight

From my experiment here I think transformer based is better with my external MPPT low noise and durable while the Transformer based is full of heat and noise. Hybrid is useless to me..
Great choice
Why do say it is useless please. I had a very bad experience with hybrid. Can suggest a brand that is durable for a transformer based inverter please
Thanks. You have done a great review on the two inverters
Glad it was helpful!
Nice work man i choose the inverter transformerless
Good choice!
Hello sir how can I eathing my solar system

@@cleomwansa156 You are welcome
Why do transformer base inverter always come with fraction... 1.5kva ,3.5kva and so on
The KVAs are its load kilowatt capacity meeting our different energy needs.
Good afternoon,I just came about your video this afternoon,I want to go for the transformer base inverter,how much sir.
@@adeolakarimah2541 get yohako,must,bluepower or Felicity and price depends on your load needs
