While doing tweaking with the DSP box I use the charger.
The meter shows 640 watts usage when the system is playing music.
When i am making measurements I use only the amplifier needed with the charger connected - so this would be 190 watts usage.
So I discover there is not only power that brings on the fan there is also heat. My room is 81 degrees F and I guess the heat build up was more than the inverter thought was safe. The fan came on when the charger was disconnected and the system was playing music drawing 640 watts.
I am thinking I will install a NOCTUA fan and leave it running at all times.
The fan is noisy - not ridiculously noisy - but heat is bad - I like the idea of a constant breeze for the inverter.
I have yet to find a chance to check ground continuity between the receptacles and the lugs.
I am thinking - and will have to try - that the ground wire only needs to be connected when the charger is connected to the inverter.
My amps have no casing so I have no idea what I would ground to the ground rod. The heatsinks? All of the rest of the stuff is minimal power draw.
Are you connecting the case to this ground wire or the ground wire in the power cord?
I will read what you have written about grounding.
