Wow, Renogy has come a long way. That inverter is built with some good stuff. What I like is that the fuses are in one place and can be checked relatively quickly. They would be the first thing to check if you have to open it!
My original renogy 3000 was OK but would never have sustained over 2500 for more than 10 minutes without over heating. It's over 3 years old, I sold it a few months back.
@ I agree 100% that if someone needs to run any inverter over 75%, they need a larger one to meet that 75% and ensure the longevity of their equipment! I have been running one inverter for close to 6 years because I do not go over the 75% threshold!
It is amazingly strong and much more quality parts in it compared to the Renogy 3000 I had 3+ years ago. The huge upgrade in quality with Renogy has come about during late 2023 since new folks joined it. They are no longer connected to AIMS which had to be a great thing to get free of.
FYI, that KOFI has a dash between the KO and FI (KO-FI). Could not get it to work as listed in the video. Just donated and left a message/request. Thanks.
Curious as to the transfer switch functionality. Perhaps a follow up video showing it in action. Curious if the two built-in case outlets if and how are isolated (or not). Are those two built-in outlets powered by the transfer switch AC input under certain configurations/situations?
Thats a nice rig John! I love my CNBOU inverter but i mite just look into the new Renogy. How ya's been bud? I never hear from Billy anymore and i cant get ahold of Bob from theromdyne...?
Same here on the 2 wind guys. Nothing from them in long time but I got a missed call from Bob a week ago, but he never answered call backs. His health is bad, Bill too. Wish the whole group would buy places here where you got 10+ months a year growing time. The CNBOU is a cheapy, ok depending on the model. The Renogy is WAY better than the 3000 I got from them thats 3+ years ago.
Seeing the inside of this have me stressing out for one reason, it has what seems like super capacitors inside .., I've recently wanted to DIY some myself to an inverter externally but I'm not sure what to do
Neat product. I am a little untrustworthy of things with blue tooth, apps,...basically any internet connections. Remember Chinese "smart" coffee makers with spyware that could also pick up sounds in your house, or exploding pagers, exploding phones or "smart tv's" whereby the whole screen is facetiming the occupants and big brother watches you.... Though I do use and acknowledge what "they" can do with my phone, tv..., batteries and hacking the main components to over charge/overheat... is a paranoia I try to avoid. Outside of that good job.
Great video John. I just installed a 2000 version of this and noticed the transfer switch does not allow shore power to flow thru to the rv circuit unless the inverter is turned on. Is this normal? It does work correctly as long as the inverter is on of course but I think shore power "ONLY" should be able to complete the circuit even if the inverter is off? Any thoughts?
Transfer has to be powered, so you have to have a active circuit to make the relays act as designed. This is done so you do not have power running when some other issue happens. Otherwise you may have live terminals when no lights or action is on and get shocked. Even a cheap UPS has to have recognition of option to work. Thanks to UL and ETL certifications!
The new models have been though guys like me who take a bit of coin to do product verifications. A dozen of us who pushed them, dissected them, broke them, repaired them, and sent in reports on any issues. My first one was Proto3k and the end result from my testing was upgraded board current capacity, they did it. The SMD1K resistors changed to MSMD1K so they cool better. The relay to Grid/Circuit default changed to silver contacts, and they immediately fixed all the findings and the result you are now seeing. I would say this line of inverters went though real test and upgrades before it was sold to the public. SO, My opinion, Renogy has gotten up to grade A in the last 12 months without a doubt.
Another great review. Thank you I have a question. Hopefully, someone can answer. I have a 24v Renogy 2000w inverter. I'm trying to connect it to my breaker box. I'm using the same breaker I use for my generator. Main breaker is thrown, generator breaker turned on. But I get a fault every time i connect the inverter.
Do not connect the ground from the inverter to your utility box, 2 wire only and it may work right. The inverter is detecting a bonded ground fault, so its not working right. That means it's having its common wire in it connected to its chassis ground from in the utility box. Depending on the model you may get stray voltage on the common on a inverter but no problem unless you allow it to ground back to itself.
Good deal. The new 3000 I am working with in the video has a Bond/no bond switch built into it so it can be used without the issues on a circuit breaker box.
I would love to see a review of Rego 3000w inverter/charger. Supposed to compete against Victron. It’s designed for 50amp rv or boat me I live on a boat trying to design my off grid system. It’s a high frequency inverter and I’m very unfamiliar with this style plus other videos on it suck.
I have a 1000w renogy eco and it sucks i specificly told them what i was wanting it for and was told it would work great sent it back because of all the problems and they sent it back said nothing was wrong with it . The only thing i like about it is it does have low consumption when it isnt in use
@@WTFgus I checked the MFUZOP and it does have it the only other one I can find is the Brand: Sunivora 3000w but it barely has any reviews which makes me suspicious 😕
Viewers watching videos like this one are interested in the features and specifications that make this inverter better or worse than the competitors. Please try to provide that information in your future videos.
I added the direct link to it under the video, with that you have a manual you can download and full specs. The only thing missing in the manual is how to insert the wires into the line in and line out terminals so I covered that here.
Hopefully you recognize what I'm saying in this comment. A minute ago you made a comment alluding to something that could possibly be happening in the very near future. Believe me things are going to start happening. And I hope for your sake and your daughter's sake that you'll listen. The Bible is playing out. And there is very little time. I don't think that I'm judging by saying this. But we've all done things that were wrong. And the only way a person can make themselves right is coming to Christ. When a person surrenders their life the holy Spirit comes into their life and changes their life. It's only by the help of God will somebody be saved. I just figured I would say something.
I appreciate you folks so much. You are my go to for learning all this good stuff. Thank you!!!

The Gucci of inverters for sure. Thank you for posting this.

Thanks for letting me know about the dash in KO-FI - I'll be sure to fix it in the next video!

Were you able to measure the transfer switch time in milliseconds, or at least try it with sensitive equipment?
Seeing the inside of this have me stressing out for one reason, it has what seems like super capacitors inside .., I've recently wanted to DIY some myself to an inverter externally but I'm not sure what to do
Nice! What about the transfer switch?
John have you did a review of the FCHAO inverter?

I hope this is a sing that they are gonna be improving all there stuff

Why doesn't more inverters have a 50hz/60hz switch
My MFUZOP 2000 watt inverter (12 volt) has that switch.
@JohnT.4321 do you use it?
@@viyusavery248 Yes, since August its been in use with no issues. The inside of the unit looks similar to the unit in the above video.
@@viyusavery248 Europe uses 50 Hz, so having 50/60 SW opens up a much larger market.
