<p>[QUOTE="Tallahassee, post: 11550294, member: 310586"]I work for a company that has their own inverters. They are not bad (2000W) but they are not pure sign wave. They are really choppy modified sine wave. So choppy microwave motor struggles. My question is they will not install my own equipment, nor can I remove their equipment. Their inverter on the back where it steals the battery has big termination blocks, so big they got the cigarette lighters near bunk for phone charging in the back wired to it with reasonable room. My idea is and photo is attached that the inverter draws from the termination block when turned on right? Rather than running a second inverter replacing theirs myself because it has been not working sometimes is to buy a 3000w pure sine wave inverter and do a short run from the back of it directly to the terminal block on the back of that inverter that the zero gauge heavy duty wielding wire they got going to the battery’s and just keep the modified sine wave inverter off. The circuit is not completed thus that inverter is not drawing anything and it would be just as if I was doing a jumper from a metal terminal block. Any risk in this electrically? I can’t think of any. I’m not going to be using both just piggy backing of the termination block maybe a 1 ft run and then mounting the pure sine wave inverter above the old one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
