Yes, I found that, but none of their products looked even vaguely like this. I did find an AIMS that used the same extruded aluminum case and very similar control panels.

That is a meaty inverter. That would likely power a moderately sized home. What specifically do you need to know about it? It looks fairly old, could be 20 years or possibly more. Any detailed info may have been long lost.

 

[john61ct]

Pre-internet?

 

[ohiobenz]

Whoa... that's really old.
It would be nice to know idle current draw...
This should be able to run my Dometic Brisk2 on the LMTV cab, and then switch over to run the small room AC when parked, hopefully the small fridge all the time, possibly a induction cooktop?

 

[luthj]

That would run 5 or 6 cooktop's... a rough guess is that idle consumption is 50-200w.

 

[john61ct]

Sorry, forgetting about the inverter and even the buffering battery bank for now,

what is the power source actually supporting these kind of loads?

Just focusing on the aircon, how many hours a day, rough estimate on kWh per day when ambient temps are very high?

 

[DaveInDenver]

The company is gone, it's not the Pakistani company. It appears the 13kW inverter disappeared from their website in July of 2008. It was there on 7/19/08 and gone on the 7/22/08 snapshot. Not much info. There was at some point a PDF but it's not in the archive.

If the info on the boards is correct, date of mfg Sept 3rd 2002.
I would assume these are some standard boards and controls. I'm also assuming that the idle consumption is 39W from the PTSL 39re (Power Transformer Stray Losses)
If this thing works, probably a good deal at $200?

 

[luthj]

That's a good deal if it meets your needs. Take note that it may only be 80% efficient at loads under 20% of its rated power. Don't underestimate the difficult of running an AC unit from batteries. It is interesting that it uses a bunch of parallel smaller transformers, instead of a larger toroidal one.

 

[ohiobenz]

The previous owner ran a window AC on it, so that part doesn't worry me as much.
I'm tempted to buy this Aims Power LCD remote panel that has an RJ45 connection - just like the inverter does.... www.aimscorp.net/LCD-remote-panel.html and see if it works....
But first is finding a 24vdc power source to test it with...
