Low frequency Inverters are great, but not everyone has that kind of money to spend on one. I have run my high frequency samlex inverter most everday for 2 years now without any problems, and it's either running a heater or an AC unit and right next to it I have a Reliable 3000 watt inverter doing the same thing and again no problems.
Why have you powered a heater or an AC unit with an inverter most every day for the past 2 years? Do you live off grid? Our company used to buy Chinese made RE products directly from Samlex years ago. We had to stop selling their high frequency inverters because of far too many returns due to failures. A couple of months ago while searching through our inventory, I found a Samlex 2,000 high frequency inverter in its original, unopened box that was never sold. I decided to test the unit and hooked it up to one of our test jigs, I hooked a scope to it and applied a DC source and let the unit run without a load to check waveform integrity. After running for approximately 2 hours, with no load applied, the unit started smoking and I heard the distinctive sound of MOSFETs popping (sounds like popcorn popping). I can post a video of what's left of this Samlex inverter if you like.
@quickquote1568 I have an off grid setup in my spare bedroom, and I use it as a way to lower my electric bill by running heaters and AC units plus if my power goes out I have backup power.

Thank you Mathew. I have never used an inverter so this was a fantastic tutorial for me.
Hey, I appreciate you watching! Thanks for the kind words! :)
Wow those wires got dangerously HOT! but seems like an awesome inverter.
Yeah they did! The inverter was definitely a trooper to continue running even though it was that hot. Thanks for watching!
Thanks, I just purchased the 3000w inverter. Where they ask for coupon code, if you enter Matt, you get another $10 off.
The Amazon links for the wire go to O gauge wire, not 1/0. Was that intentional?
to it's all worthless if the inside is not shown, IN DETAIL, i wanna know if it is repairable...
Only an inexperienced newbie would buy a high frequency, transformerless inverter. They don't last very long and they offer a wimpy surge capacity.

3k low frequency inverters are about 800 bucks
