Do you think this inverter can run my 115-230v / 7.5-15 amp compressor? Does this inverter come with all of the necessary wiring to install it?

Look at the watts your compressor consumes. It must be 1500 or less watt. This inverter only achieves 110-120 volts.It doesn´t work with appliances more than that. You need DC cables to conect to the battery.

115-230 VAC is a selection, not a range. So if you select 115 VAC then you have selected the correct output for this inverter as it is a nominal 120 VAC inverter. With a range between 7.5 amps and 15 amps being drawn by the compressor, the inverter is just a bit shy of what you require. Another big problem will be the stoutness of the battery you are using. From a static 12 VDC source (stand alone battery), converting it to 120 VAC, drawing 15 amps, the power used would be 1,800 watts. That is a little past the rated 1,500 watts, but not beyond the momentary peak of 3,000 watts. From an active 14.5 VDC source (a 12 Volt battery driven by a alternator), converting it to 120 VAC and drawing 15 amps, the power used would be 1,740 watts. Again, that is a little past the rated 1,500 watts, but not beyond the momentary peak of 3,000 watts. But here is the catch, an AC inverter is never 100% efficient, so the calculations stated above are actually worse. Could be 20% off or more 'off' due to inefficiency. Technically, you could run your compressor for a few moments without damage to the inverter, but this inverter would not be the proper selection for your work load. I would select something in the 2,400 watt range for the continuous power required that you seek. This would give you 20 amps minus 20% inefficiency giving you 16 amps of reliable current. So 2,500 watts, with the ability to surge to 5,000 watts momentarily (allowing a 100% overage of current drawn on start up for the motor of the compressor) should fit your bill. All units will be very happy with each other (provided you have a robust battery, or battery bank). An "8D" battery would serve you well (but pretty heavy at 161 lbs each). Do not forget "voltage drop" that happens, and make sure you use HEAVY cables to the battery; perhaps 2/0 pure copper (not copper clad) cables. This will keep your input high. It is worth the expense (and you only buy them once).

The short answers are- No, and no. The surge amps to start a compressor are pretty high, and I doubt that this inverter would even put out enough power to start it. And you do need to buy cables to hook up to your battery, or battery bank. I would keep looking if I were you.

Sorry but unless you have a serious Battery and Inverter setup. No. Dont get me wrong it is a good kit. I have two of them. but most Refrig and freezers need alot more amps than the kit provides. But it cold be used to keep a Battery charged and a bigger inverter could work. Check out the web folks are using these kits to make solar generators with good results.

This compressor runs at the limit of a typical household circuit capacity. A 20 Amp circuit is the proper one. Some people have damaged this same model compressor when using even short extension cords. So, be careful. It needs to receive a full 120 volts in order to start and run properly. Amclaussen.

Not for sure the amp capacity of the switch or your compressor, otherwise it will work

I can only say it definitely will run your air conditioner. Mine works very good with air conditioner, electric water heater, refrigerator and any other electric that I have on. I can only guess the choke may have not been opened. 30 amps is surely enough for a small trailer. Wish I could give more help, as it sure should not overload.

Mine will run a small 700 watt air unit in my shop just fine and it ran my old refrigerator just fine but it will not run the new energy star fridge. The new fridge would not even try to turn on. I guess it looks at the input to see if it is good and gave this inverter a fail.

it should as a 5 amp 120volt vacuum pulls 600 watts. the start up might trip the breaker on the inverter though.

That will depend on the Ah use age of your machine And the size Ah of your battery the inverter will run the machine if the battery is large enough

15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total. The thing I found out about these little inverters is not to run them on a weak power supply, if an extension cord is needed, use a VERRY heavy cord. And the manufacturer " implies " it is the ground by stating adding a ground to lugs in back of unit. Believe me 30 is plenty! But I use a generator with 30 and40 amp outlets and always a ground stake. O by the way,the foot rheostat pictured in the ad does not come with it had to go on line to a German supplier to find one. So if your cripple like me and a foot switch is critical, you may want to do some further looking. Otherwise this machine is amazing. 15amps pre side. Totals 30amps total.

Yes just find out how much amps and watts it uses and buy a inverter that's enough for it.

Amiran, I believe you would have to use some sort of reducer in conjunction with it since it is a 110 volts product. It does come with an inverter.

It might but would have to know the current draw of the tire inflator to know for sure. This inverter is for 150w max power draw. If you use the formula Watts=Volts x Amps then 150W/120V equals a max current draw of 1.25 amps. Remember this is max current draw and the inverter will probable overheat if powering this load for more than a minute or two. If your inflator draws 0.625 amps (50% of max rating) or less this power inverter should work ok. I am guessing that your inflator draws way more than this so I would recommend a much higher wattage power inverter.

I only have the main inverter so don't know. Not very happy with it. Only cools main area

No.The inverter will require a good quality 0/1 gauge power cable. You can purchase wiring kits online or buy the cables for power, ground (and a circuit breaker) by the foot at any local custom car stereo store. If you haven't wired anything like this before it is wise to have them do the entire installation. Your dealing with a lot of power any error will likely result in fire.

install a hard start 3-in-1 capacitor, look it up its cheap and provides the massive power needed to start the compressor while using a lower wattage generator, it's a very known solution to using lower rated generators for A/C

NO it's to small. You also need to remember that you will need a large Inverter probably 2000 watt or more to start the compressor. I am running a 130 watt refrigerator with 2 100 watt panels, and it's powered by a 750 watt Inverter that just starts it. My opinion is with today's technology it is not practical to run A/C.

It runs on regular 110 outlet it is a small compressor. It is a great system, you will not be disappointed if you decide to purchase.
