    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    Thank you for your help that gives me peace of mind:)

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    Yeah I think I gave a bad example. A hair dryer is a better example, a hair dryer possibly could put too much load on the inverter. But I think a vac sealer machine won't put that sort of load on an inverter.

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    I'm not sure if anyone told me that or I read it somewhere. Apparently the electricity draw will be too much and too quickly and can damage a solar panel system over time. I'm not even sure if I gave a good example. I remember now!! A hair dryer, apparently a hair dryer will draw too much...

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    Under 30 seconds a day. I've got plenty of power it's just that I was wondering if the power draw will be too high and fast (similar to powering a electric hair clipper which will wreck a solar panel system).

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    300 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter and I don't know what the battery is but I do know it has a very large capacity because it was expensive. I've definitely got enough power to run a vac sealer for a few seconds at a time for a total of under 30 seconds a day. I was just wondering if it will...

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    I can't remember the battery reserve but it is a big battery with a big reserve. I know that much because it was expensive.

    Can a vac sealer be powered by solar panel system?

    Good point. I'll only need to use it for a few seconds at a time.

    How do I clean an inverter safely?

    It only starts sparking when I turn it on. It hasn't done it lately though.  I might buy a reserve inverter just in case. I don't want to go days without power while waiting for a replacement inverter. Thanks mate :)

    How do I clean an inverter safely?

    Now that you mentioned it, very high humidity in my van lately.  Can that be the problem?

    How do I clean an inverter safely?

    I've seen where it sparks from (copper wiring) which is caked in dust. It hasn't been sparking lately which leads me to believe the dust has......"baked off"? I will certainly consider a replacement inverter if she starts sparking again. Thanks

    How do I clean an inverter safely?

    I can see the dust when I shine a light in there. Nay I don't have the cover off yet, I'm still a little nervous about getting zapped. I will try to find a compressed air source. I think gas stations might have some. Thanks for the idea. I'll unhook the input. Thanks :) I was going to use...

    How do I clean an inverter safely?

    My inverter is sparking sometimes due to dust on the inside copper wiring. I'd like to open up the inverter and clean it. My question is; how do I stop all power to the inverter? It's a 300 watt pure sine wave inverter - 12DC - 240vAC.

    Achieving a long range WiFi connection

    Okay understood. Thank you for your help.

    Achieving a long range WiFi connection

    Forgive me for my dumb question but the yagi has a RP-SMA female connector and the ALPHA has a RP-SMA female connector. Wouldn't I need a male connector on the yagi since the ALPA has a RP-SMA female connector?

    Achieving a long range WiFi connection

    Interesting site. But I'd rather leave the antenna building up to the professionals. You make me feel guilty that I'm not building my own antenna to save money because I'm suppose to be saving money as hard as I can. I'll just tell myself I'd probably screw it up anyway so I can hid the fact...

    Achieving a long range WiFi connection

    I'm looking at getting this adapter: AWUS036NH https://www.alfa.com.tw/service_1_detail/5.htm It has a compatible connector for the pigtail antenna cable, right? because there is two options to choose from: https://www.simplewifi.com/products/yagi?variant=43216438479...
