POTEK 3000W Power Inverter

Installed on a utility body work truck for new construction site power. At first had a 50 amp 12 volt breaker feeding the inverter but kept tripping . Replaced the breaker with a 300 amp 12 volt fuse ( I am only concerned with protecting the auxiliary battery from a catastrophic failure of the inverter or its wiring. Main positive feed is 250 KCMIL welding cable from the battery to a distribution block before the fuse so we're good ). As electricians the first test was a long 500 foot plus wire pull in conduit with an 8000 foot pound rated tugging machine. The pulling head draws between 15 and 30 amps depending on the resistance of the pull. This pull had the pulling head screaming multiple times maxing out for an hour and the inverter never quit. (May have been conduit damage under the slab during backfill) . We then pulled in 5 more runs of a little less length again without skipping a beat. Hammer drills, grinders, light duty charging. I am impressed so far. Definitely recommend.

I buy for my truck, it’s a great product. Great quality and price. Work very well.

The 5 stars are for Potek's customer service; I haven't had a chance to use the inverter yet but my experience with this company's customer service was second to none. I bought this inverter back in April and after it was installed on my RV solar system and tested, everything was a-okay. I didn't have an opportunity to travel in the RV so the unit sat there unused until July. Prior to my travel plans, I tested all the systems in the RV and the inverter was alarming for no discernible reason. After trouble-shooting and having a technician look at it, we determined that something was malfunctioning on the inverter. I was quite dismayed because I had a trip planned a couple of weeks out and I imagined I would probably have to buy a new inverter and write the Potek off as a loss in order to leave on my trip as planned. I contacted Potek expecting to be told I'd needed to send in the malfunctioning inverter to resolve the issue and so on. Nope, they immediately sent out a new replacement inverter - and it arrived before my planned trip. There was no cost to me for the replacement. Awesome customer service!

Actual Dimension Update for the 3000W Unit is as follows: - Width of base plate 10.5 inches - Depth of base plate 13.0 inches Incl. cable mounts = 14.25 inches - Height of unit 4.5 inches This unit has Ios & Android interface capability. 4x 120V/60Hz Outputs & 3x 5V/2Amp USB ports 1 of which will be taken by the Bluetooth Adapter which provides you with real time monitoring capability.

This inverter is alright. It works and seems a good quality one. The seller is very responsive and always willing to help if you have any problems with the product. But I got say it has a small glich. It whistles when battery a little discharge 10,75 and lower. That noise is like high mouse squeak. So if you alright with that this is product is definitely worth the money.

At first, it was a great inverter, with no issues at all. After 5 months of having it, it burned 4 semi-truck batteries. I replaced them all, and 4 months later, it did the same thing. However, not only the batteries burned but the actual inverte burned with them, and now it won't turn on. So, for the price and all the BS it put me through is not worth it. DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. Save you time, money, and headaches. Because is costing me now more to replace all batteries than the actual inverter it self.

The inverter is very good, if pure sine wave would be perfect, even so, I use it with solar panels and batteries to turn fan, TV, DVD, Computer with monitor, Refrigerator (Small) and other things. The inverter tells you how many watts you are using and that helps you to know how many more things you can connect, it also tells you the level of battery charge, I recommend it.

Having bought other inverters that were advertised as 2 to 3000 watts, NOT working, I ordered this one. When the power is out, I can still use the keurig coffee maker. 😉
