Periodically shuts itself "OFF" from "ON". Often will turn back on in minutes. Sometimes just stays off creating havoc when I am away. Gets very hot to the touch when charging, particularly when equalizing. The fan is running and I have cleaned vents with compressed air. Generator input 120 volts at running 60 hertz.
SOURCE: Carrier Air Conditioner, cool air then runs luke warm air
Have you checked the freon level in this unit? If you are low or there is a leak it could be the problem. Hope this helps.

Ignore peak, that means nothing. RMS * 1.414 = peak. RMS is the actual usage you will get, thats all. Peak doesnt mean it will supply the peak wattage for a short period of time: salesmen with no electrionics training tell people this and its a big fat lie.
See what the unit is drawing, use a clamp-on ammeter on ONE lead (not both, or it will read 0). That shoudl tell you if your device is drawing too much. You should only be able to run that device UNDER the 800 Watts (watts = volts * amps, not including loss of efficiency which might be 10% or more, and even greater when warm)
Source: I'm a maintenance electrician. Like the home-builder kind, same apprenticeship (more hours; 10,400) but also with much industrial training in PLCs, transformers, converters, inverters, motors, controls, etc.

I have a background in electronics so i hope i can help. Now after reading this i have the feeling this item does not put out 2000 watts cause if that were the case it should draw somewhere near 147amps. This is because to find out amps you need to take the 2000 watts and divide it by 13.6 volts (assuming what the vehicle runs at) that gives you amps. watts/volts=amps.
SOURCE: Cleaned vents, dryer gets very hot, shuts off w/o drying clothes
Sounds like a faulty operating thermostat. Only way is to test on a electric griddle that you can set the temperature to 150 deg and measure with a ohm meter.

Have you checked your batteries? Sounds like you have one or some that are causing a lot of current to be flowing. That our you have a big load on the system. Equalization is not an everyday function that I know of. How often is it running that function?
