The inverter complies with standards: IEEE1547, UL1703? If not so any provider would not let serious energy that was installed with a fire hazard.

The requirement for ieee1547 is only if not hooked direct to appliance and hooked to a circuit box so it needs not to meet this requirement. It is required to be grounded to meet It's a UL approval. This is one of the best inverters in the 1500w range I have found but you do need some serious battery backup to run anywhere close to 1500 watts.

Peggy, if there is a 12vt fuse on the unit it may be inside. I had an external 125 amp fuse on the positive side between the invertor and my battery rack.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

You should have standard voltage which is what this unit requires. If you remain unsure just ask your building superintendent - or call your utility provider to assuage any doubts you may have.

I would think it would be OK as long as the converter was rated high enough to handle the load measured in watts or amperage.

It's set up for 110, so if you go through an inverter it should be fine. I personally wouldn't try anything else just for liability.

There shouldn't be a problem with that as long as total wattage does not exceed transformer capability.

Yes, I sent it back. Their equipment is not in conformance with any code. The inside parts are not up to any market or security specifications. I was chocked about the lack of security. It's a fire hazard ! I have 9x 150 W solar panels. Even at full performance of the solar panels ( Theoretical 1350 W) I never reached a power output of more than 450 Watt!!! I sent it back and got refunded after they offered me to send individuals parts, worth $4.50 and to soother it myself. I repeat my claim several times before I got reimbursed !

As posted, check the voltage level, and current the landscape xmfr can handle, there is no reason I can think of to prevent if all specs are met to handle the additional load.

Shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I didn't like about inverter was the GFI plug.

I doubt that the invertor would see the same high temp, the roof surface underneath the panels will not have sunlight on it so will not get as hot as the unprotected parts. Just my opinion:)

The connectors on the inverter are on the small side anyway so as long as they are secure or shouldn't be a problem.

If the wattage of the inverter is greater than the rating of the heat gun it shouldn't be an issue

No, you can't. because is going to trip out the internal fuse of the inverter.

I would go to blue sea's tech department and ask them. Since it is for a 48 volt inverter i would assume the amp draw won't be to high and it should be OKbut if there was some kind of short it could quickly overload the system and cause a fire/damage best to check with the manufacture on this one

I'm plugged into a standard apartment outlet. The cord and plug on this thing is pretty thick so I probably wouldn't try using an inverter.

i'm no electrician but . . . the specs should have a number wrt to current usage, presumably watts, so in my logic, getting a suitable inverter wired into the loom should provide enough juice to run the unit, it couldn't be very much
