Cheap 8000w Reliable Inverter, That Works! WZRELB

a new inverter just arrived in the mail and I'm gonna unbox it and test it and we're gonna see if it works well or if it fails like some old ones now this is the upgraded version and reliable electric sent it out to me to review and I'm gonna be able to share with you guys as we do it so it might work well it might not we're gonna find out together oh boy man after I get this out of the box we're gonna take the cover off and we're gonna compare it side-by-side to the old inverter that did not work well and just like the old one it looks like they double boxed it alright come on here we go well it says pure sine wave inverter alright we have a pair of cables yeah so still not listed in gauge and I can't read the Chinese characters that are on here now the pair of these for 8,000 watts I don't know we still have the terminal cover plate and some spare fuses let's see if we can read any of the new manual this one looks like it is in English which is awesome it says the search power is two times higher than the rated power and it says standby loss is less than 40 Watts conversion efficiency is more than or equal to 85% well it arrived with no damage to the packaging it looks in good shape well here it is the new inverter so pure sine wave inverter so from this angle you can tell this is a little bit shorter this one's taller but this one is definitely wider than this guy overall this feels like a more compact design two plugs on this one four plugs on this one that looks like the same as this one and again this plastic cover is inside the fuse bag the spare fuses so here's the new versus old just do a nice pan shot here you can see both so the battery terminals look the same on both models you're gonna come in they still have a connecting copper bar in the back here between the two let's see here we've got these things that look like transformers one two three and four and over here we had nine so that's that's probably a good thing oh I see something else that's nice they have a copper bar that's connecting across them so I'm hoping that means that even though these wires are still different lengths maybe that copper bar will also help distribute some of that load but I don't know for sure I'm just noticing some things that are different between the two and pointing them out this guy is a big coil of copper and it looks like we still have that over here but now it's to two of these rings doughnuts and only one doughnut over here so those things look like they've gotten beefier capacitors over here it looks like we got five and we have six over on this side sometimes people ask me if the fuses are replaceable this one you can certainly see everything it looks like they made this one in two levels nothing is loose on these wires so over here on the front it looks like this terminal was not crimped it looks like it's just soldered and it looks like there's a heavier gauge wire that comes up to the terminal block and this red wire that's coming off which looks like it is jumping between these four outlets that is a thinner gauge wire now that's the same way that this one was built you can see a fatter wire leading to your terminal block and a thinner wire then jumps over to your outlets and that's why the manufacturer has recommended that you only plug in low low amp draws to these and then do your high ant stuff at the terminal block I will say that on the old model the hot and neutral look like fatter wires than the new model these look much thinner gauge and I'm a little bit concerned about the thickness of these two wires this is the main hot leg and the main neutral which lead to the terminal block and these look way too thin for 8,000 watts at 120 volts which would be about 66 amps for comparison's sake right here is a piece of 10 gauge thh an or thwn wire pretty basic wire and if I hold this up they look identical in diameter now 10 gauge is rated for 30 amps so about half what it's supposed to be now yes the jacket could be different diameters of the two it's not like this wire is a very thick jacket and that just seems way undersized for me but let me know in the comments below what you guys think well let's take off one of these plates and look inside so we take that off and we see a heatsink over here's the grounding lug it actually looks like that you think is one giant board instead of breaking it apart into multiple heat sinks this one is one massive chunk of aluminum Wow the MOSFETs look like they are sandwiched in between the aluminum heatsink and the circuit board and it looks like these what these are prongs here that are sticking up are actually the legs of the MOSFETs there's where they screwed the MOSFETs to the board oh that's an interesting way to do it huh that looks neat those guys they're very neat all right cool well I'll put this back together and then we will hook it up to the battery and see what it can do I'm gonna use my brand new battery for testing this inverter and I'm gonna hook up this little outlet down here so I can test the inverter with some loads so I'm gonna run this wire up to this terminal block it says in the manual the red is the live then black is neutral and yellow is ground this is set up as a single-phase 120 volts hook the wire in the direction that you're going to screw it so this black wire is the neutral and this red wire is the hot leg there's two covers on this model and so you first start with the plastic cover and then we can cover that with this metal cover when you go to attach these cables make sure the copper ring terminal is first we you want that to have a nice clean connection so you're gonna go flat washer then the lock washer and then the nut great nice and tight okay next we can move over to our positive side on my setup I have circuit breakers for the batteries so I'm going to go ahead and turn them off so I'm not going to have a spark when I go to attach this it actually looks like there's a little scorch mark right here let's get it closed up so maybe that scorch mark happened from a test at the factory I don't know for my situation I'm going to take off the ring terminal to attach to these posts but your situation might vary before I switch the circuit breakers on and send the electricity to the inverter I want to pre charge the capacitors inside so I'm going to take a small resistor this resistor is connected to the positive and I'm going to touch it to the terminal and that's going to pre charge the capacitors okay so I'm just holding it here that should be good and now I'm going to go ahead and flip the circuit breakers on go and if we flip this on nice okay let's go ahead and start plugging some stuff in and see if it works okay let's start with this light bulb huh the light bulb works awesome it says only 3 amps are not very powerful but let's try a drill press didn't seem to have any problem okay great okay a 9 amp bandsaw and that voltage actually did not sag it went up slightly as we did that that's great my other inverter will have a voltage sag heatgun let's start the heat gun on low it works and on high this is 1,500 watts it did pretty well excellent 15-amp table saw [Music] next we're going to test this miter saw now I'm very excited about testing this miter saw because this miter saw overloaded the earlier version of this 8000 watt inverter so I'm really excited to see if it can pass the muster with this guy will this 8000 won Vernor be able to power this miter saw so here we go oh that felt great there's not even any voltage saying this is amazing let's check this out wow that is excellent huh I'm going to plug the shop back into the inverter as well let's cut this one in three-quarter inch wide piece of lvl [Music] [Music] it did it huh and it did it really well I was pushing hard because I wanted to give this the best test I could that's impressive the hardest thing to start I have in this whole garage is this air compressor now the rating on this air compressor is only 13 amps so less amps can running than the saw ones but starting this motor is tough and I've had inverters that can't pull this off so we have 90 let's take a look we have 90 psi in the tank right now so it's starting under load let's see it might start right up when I plug it in i might have to release some air pressure in let's find out all right so i'll have to release some air pressure oh I must have the switch off because it would normally kick on by now all right here we go we're gonna throw the switch [Music] 46 grams Wow well the test was a huge success reliable inverters certainly upped their game with this new version of the 8000 watt inverter when I squeezed the trigger of the miter saw or when I turned on that table saw I mean those blades started right up they didn't have any hesitation it felt the same as when I plugged it into grid power and that is you know really impressive usually those two big saws with 15 app motors usually they have a big SAG on an inverter until in the inverter drops in voltage until they kick back up this thing actually looked like it went up in voltage slightly when you applied the load to it so I don't know how they pulled that off but that was pretty neat it was nice feeling using those tools you know my only concern with it is that the internal wires don't look nearly capable enough to carry 8,000 watt so I'm gonna have to hook up multiple outlets to the terminals in order to get enough watts on here to test the full capacity of 8,000 watts so thank you reliable electric for sending this out to me and letting me do the review well thank you all very much for watching the video and checking out the new reliable electric inverter I think they did a great job upping their game with this one so please hit the like button subscribe to the channel and check out all the links in the description below that really helps me out if you use those thank you very much
