Yep 👍 your good brother hell yes good deal , I like the look of the aims and believe they will work I think I just got a couple Monday or Friday builds lol
I have a inverter the same as your aims I believe and I like it!
Your choice of test equipment is right up my alley lol. Glad you got it fixed.
haha yea, I only buy what I NEED.
Oh and thanks for plugging my channel brother , looking forward seeing what’s up with the over voltage one now
that one is next :)
How Can I ask a question?
If you use some good flux and smear it on the legs of the mosfets you could get some really nice surface welds.
yes I will be buying some.
NICE BROTHER!! BAD ASS!!! Love seeing dead stuff working. Thanks for today. Sorry I was a bit of a nut lol. God bless brother..
with reference to reliable 3000w inverter, Do you mean if you upgrade the inverter with igbt 600v, 160A, G160N60UFD, the inverter will last longer?
Mine has been really good
Applying thermal grease compound between thermal pads and output mosfets in inverter improve heat conduction . what do you suggest. Thanks.
From my testing, it only helps a little.
Ok, thanks. What is the best way of improving heat conduction on heat sink output in inverter.?
Would you say the Reliable 4000 watt could invert 3000 watts continuous all day? Thanks for the video!
If it's one load probably, if it's a house with a bunch of smaller loads with spikes no. My favorite inverter from reliable is the 3000w, it seems the most robust.
@@GoingOffGrid101 I was going to use the 4000 Watt version to charge my Ecoflow Delta Pro. It’s max charge rate is 3000 Watts with a 240volt AC connection. I need to make sure I have a unit with enough headroom to run continuously at 3000 Watts.
@@globemasterdave it should be fine with that load. if it last the first few weeks used are at 3000w it should last a long time.
@@globemasterdave buy through amazon has better warranty i think 3 months
@@GoingOffGrid101 Thanks for the info. Bummer to hear the 4000Watt version is flaky. Hopefully I receive a reliable Reliable 4000. Just bought through eBay because it was the only way I could manage to order the 240volt version. Seller is offering a 365 day warranty.
Hello again! So my new 4000 watt Reliable Inverter has stopped working. When I connect DC power and turn the unit on, an alarm sounds and the red light is on. I'm afraid something has blown. I'm wondering if its the manner in which I am turning off the unit that could have caused this? I had the inverter powering a 2700 watt load to charge my Eco Flow Delta Pro. When I was done charging the Eco Flow I would switch the power off on the Inverter. Should I be removing the load first on the AC side before turning off the inverter?
did it make a popping sounds or does it smell burnt? I don't think shutting the inverter down with a load should hurt it. try plugging a load into the inverter with it on like a light bulb or electric heater and see if it turns on, also what voltage is the inverter 12 24 36 or 48v ? there is a chance a few fuse blew inside the inverter, be careful inside the inverter the caps could be storing high voltage, leave it on and unplugged from the batteries for a night before opening.

Inverter works fine now. I had the unit disconnected for a few days and didn't realize the importance of a pre charge resister.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Its a 12v to 240 inverter
@@globemasterdave I'm glad you got it working
3K inverter = IRFP4 (6) 68 (9 mOhm 200V)
4K inverter = IRFP4 (3) 68 (1.6 mOhm 75V)
...easy to miss :)
the 3000w inverter mosfet to the right is one I replaced with a different one :D
The IRFP4668 can handle less than 5x the current, but a much higher voltage.
If the others are the IRFP4368's, then you have a serious problem.
@@stevebliss6056 i believe i showed the input stage on the 3000w and the output stage on the 4000w by accident lol
nice soldering job!
I knew someone would like it :D
What would be a good replacement for the output fets on a 24v 4000w reliable?
160n60 igbt or something like that
I got question, I have the 3500 watt inverter of that brand, when it's connected to batteries it comes on, and shows 26v on low side, but out put screen is black, showing nothing, and plug something into it and nothing, so does that mean that the output MOSFETs are burnt? If so do you have numbers for replaceable MOSFETs, I tried looking up ones it says on it, and since Chinese and can't find replacement ones.
If you look up my 3000w inverter repair video it shows the output gets, but I'll look tonight, I believe they are 59n30
@@GoingOffGrid101 thank you very much, I appreciate you taking time and and helping me out.
@@GoingOffGrid101 I watch your video that you suggested and couldn't make out what MOSFET it was, but I'll look into the one you suggested, again thanks for your help.
Hey great video, how is that 4000watt inverter going?
It's good, the 3000w is more reliable
I’ve got the 3kwh / 230V / 36V version. Didn’t open it up as it’s still working fine after 2 years. It draws about 35-40 Watts in idle since the first day. Except from that there’s no dedicated earth connection pole the only thing that I dislike. Do you have an idea how that idle current could be improved? Thanks!
Hmm thats a bit high for the 3000w my 120v ones only take around 25w no load draw, could be cause you are using 240v, I would say dont fix whats not broken :D
My 4000w reliable inverter fans make much noise because they run at Max speed all the time. How do I reduce the noise to silence? Any idea, my lecturer.
Does the fans run all the or only when load us applied?
The fans run even when there is no load. they run even when heat sink temperature is 28oC, they are on and off every 2min.
@Mulonda Mwinanu seems like the thermistor is asking up, wonder if you could replace it 🤔
i just bought the same one except mines is 4000 watts at 36v. have not tried it yet. got any pointers for me or kind of batteries i can use car and solar or deep cycle and panels...and by the way excellent video
Hey, it's a good inverter, I like the 3000w design better but the 4000w is not bad at all
what was actually wrong with it? Simply cold solder joints? What are you doing with Canada Post Boxes in Ohio? :) Thanks for sharing your work! Stay Safe! Doug
Ohio box in Canada lol
a few mosfets died, I replaced them and works now.
i bought the Reliable 3000 watt. When you did the G160N60 Fairchild IGBT mod did you do any other mod or just upgraded the MOSFETs?
just the mosfets, I have don't that upgrade to 2 of my 3000w inverters now and long it.
@@GoingOffGrid101 those MOFETS are not that cheap,/i thought less than a Dollar, even from China they are not giving them away .
@@mannyfragoza9652 no they are not cheap at all
Do you repair and resell these inverters on ebay? If so, what is your ebay page? Thanks for the video.
I do not sorry.
Hi love your videos inspirational I was thinking of buying a 4000 watt reliable inverter it is damaged the person said that that it overloaded and blow but I was wondering if it's a good idea to still get it ,it is a hey 48v inverter do you think it's a good idea ear to keep the whole inverter but drop it down to 24 volts or just keep it as a 48-volt would love to hear your suggestion
keep it at 48v, the 4000w was easy to fix, hope it works out well.
I’ve just blown up my 3000w 24v reliable inverter when my moes transfer switch kicked over to mains, I can’t for the life of me find replacement or upgrade mosfets for those four, any ideas what I can replace them with or can you share a link maybe please? I’m In Australia and can’t find anything locally 🤦♀️ Thankyou in advance
these will work for the output fets, but you may of damaged your input fets as well. did your fuses blow in the inverter ?
here is a link to fets you can use on the output

My12v, 240v, 3500w reliable inverter has lost surge power and it has difficult in starting a 150w fridge it used to power. What could be a problem with my inverter? Driver board is ok.
Could be the current reading is off or no longer working, check internal fuse make sure none are blown
@@GoingOffGrid101 fuses are ok. How do I turn on current reading?
@@mulondamwinanu8247 how old is the unit ?
You mean micro current transformer sensor ?
1 year old
Wow no views yet, guess Im first! So a 4kw is kinda like a throttled 5kw, (with less FETs than a 5kw ) yeah I think I'd go with the 4kw, even if it was $100 more, the FET upgrade is a good idea, I don't use the power you do, I can live off one 20amp circuit, but if I'm running tools that goes up ALOT!! I could probably get by with a 3kw, but I have a 24v 5kw, to run the fridge, microwave, and TV, with a 12v 120ah battery bank for lighting, I would like to get a larger inverter, or a couple smaller , for back up, and occasional use. I have backup pwm charge controllers, though I use mppt, when I add more panels I will not be able to use a pwm, because of the high DC voltage, ( not a cheap mppt, I don't guess) it will be 90- 120v approximately, depending on the panels, I kinda like the 435watt panel, even if they are not the best deal. It will be less panels carried around. And go faster , but the 300ish watt panels are cheaper, by a few cents a watt, I hope to add 2500 watts or so. And add a turbine or two,
yes these 4kw inverters look nice! I have been using it all day. I really like the 4000w and the 5000w inverters they seem to be well built.
ok, after seeing the whole video, it looks like the first 4K you showed may have an incorrect MOSFET in it. ...maybe that is why it has input power issues?
yes I replaced it a long time ago, might change it out, at the time it was all I had on hand.
Cool but the slow fade sssssucks I thought my screen was timing out. And where is the affiliate link
Lmao, ok I dont get paid at all from these guys :D
I have a problem with my 24v 2500w . The red light is flickering with power fluctuations and the alarm sounds on and off at night when the panels are not producing. ??? Also the cooling fan was pulsing. Any ideas? I was in contact with reliable...but nothing still.
what type of batteries and voltage you running in your system? also is it in a damp area?
Going Off Grid 120 v AC output , 24v battery bank(2x12 240amph). Not a damp area. I should say there is a clicking when the low voltage light flickers...like a switch or relay rapidly on and off.
@@thebluedan sorry damp i meant
@@thebluedan so at what voltage does it start doing this?
Going Off Grid non in particular I dont think, right earlier i made a video at 26.6 v dc. And now is 25.7 and it is ding it’s well. Also sometime is doesn’t do it at all.
cool
I really need a 4000 watts I have a3000 but it can't power my electric saw
Try building a soft start for it, I have a video check it out
I have a reliable 3000w
First switch on, solid red light
Switch of 2 minuets later switch on and bang. 1 blown mosfet and 2 shorted IGBT’s
Will a g30n60 works as a replacement IGBT? It has same spec as the original
if the specs are the same then yes. what was the original mosfet number ?
60t65pes. I have just realised that the replacement is 75a rather than 60a. And 600v rather than 650v. Would this still be ok? All other specs seam the same that I can see. Thanks for your help. Loving the videos
@@stockleys that should be fine.
Would you believe it, new IGBT’s turn up and one is faulty. Totally open circuit. One question about your video, if the inverter has overload protection, why would it blow components if it’s overloaded. Should it not shut itself down before damage is done?
@@stockleys I believe it has overload protection if you use items that slowly ramp up the watts but high surge or if your running at max rated power for to long it can blow components
My 3000 watt Reliable inverter is outputting 130-134 ac volts and I suspect is overheating because of this as the fans come on every 5-10 minutes. Is there a way of reducing the voltage?
Inside the inverter there is a blue box with a small flat head screw on top covered in hot glue, turn it 2 times clockwise and see what voltage the inverter is at.
@@GoingOffGrid101 Many thanks for the quick reply. I will give it a go.
OK I tried that as the output voltage started to creep up to 140-141 volts. Initially it went down to 129-130 so I turned the screw two more times and now its still sitting at 137volts with 27.6 volts coming in from the batterries. It seems to be working but I am worried that something is not quite right. Appreciate any help as I am isolated out here on a small island. Cheers.
@@richardnemar-smith4621 sounds like the pot has been corrupted, might need a new pot, see of you can find a model number or ask reliable to send a pot
@@GoingOffGrid101 Thank you for the quick reply. I seem to have little luck in contacting Reliable. They just don't seem to want to get back to me or don't read their messages. I will try and ring them tomorrow and see if that works. Many thanks.
hmm, size wise (external dimension), the 4000w looks a lot like my 3,500W 48V volts inverter when compared to my 3,000W 48V (both from Reliable). I have not open it up to see what inside yet.
wouldn't it be nice if the 3500w was really a 4000w :)
