    Inverter is receiving power, but does not supply power to outlets?

    So I've got a 2000 watt ampeak inverter...when I supply it with 12 volts it powers on as it should and shows how many volts it's receiving...but when I plug something in it's supposed to show home many volts that item is using, but the screen stays at 0 volts and does not power the item at any of the 3 power outlets...Can anyone tell me what would be the cause of this issue?

    It should say watts? volts on output theoretically should be constant no matter what the load is, until it's overloaded.

    so, fuse on secondary?
    gfci?
    burned output transistors?
    so many possibilities...

      Dead Dell Latitude 5420 not receiving 20 volts from USB-C charger
      by BTubbs200
      Hello,

      Dell Latitude 5420 P137G
      Board: LA-K491P REV A01

      I have received this laptop which was described as "does not power on or accept charge." Battery shows no sign of charging when charger is plugged in, nor does the board show any signs of life when battery is unplugged and charger is plugged in. No light from the LED at all or any other indications of activity.

      Board seems to have no shorts, all power rails are fine and show high resistance.

      When charger is plugged in, voltage is present in 3.3V rail but absent in others....

      Vizio E55-E1 bad backlights or bad inverter?
      by x_orange90_x
      I just got this tv today and it appeared to have no backlight on. After taking off the rear cover and checking again in the dark I can see that MAYBE one quadrant is lit.. But still it's quite dim. I was going to check the LEDs with my tester, and I found LED 1 and LED 2 + pins on the wire from the inverter, but I couldn't identify a ground. Nonetheless I tried using a mounting screw on the inverter board and also the chassis as ground but regardless my tester reads 300 which is what it reads when there is no voltage draw.

      I don't know how exactly to test the inverter itself. Is it...

      PS5 digital / No Power / No Beep / Good power supply
      by MisterAIL
      Hi everyone,

      Brought a non functionnal PS5. Apparently only a bad PSU...
      No beep, nothing.

      After some tests i found this :
      - PSU is fine (12 volts stable)
      - 12 volts line is shorted
      - DA9065 was fried, F7003 also => Replaced both of them, short is gone on 12 volts line, no dead short anywhere else.
      - By the way, nothing change. No signal, no power, no beep.

      Mesuring all rails with my workbench psu (12 volts input)
      - 0.00 amp drawing
      - 12 volts, 5 volts, 2 volts, 1,15 volts are presents (suppose new DA9065 do is...

      APSINT3636VR 3600W APS INT Series 36V DC 230V AC Inverter/Charger schematic
      by Gentian
      I have a tripp-lite aspint 3636vr inverter charger which blow some of mosfet transistors. I replaced them repaired also the driver circuit and tested but the mosfets burn again.

      It work very well as inverter and also as charger if I let the rear switch in auto mode (inverter) and charger only(charging) but in auto when I connect the feed line 220V AC first time it pass ok to line and start charging the batteries but when I remove the feed line it pass to inverter mode and if I do it again the second time when passing from charging to inverter the Main transformer start making a...

      Insignia NS-LCD19-09 (PS OK, Inverter problem?)
      by valvashon
      For some reason I'm just not going to let this 19" TV defeat me. I guess because I have a schematic to work from I feel like I'm oh so close.

      History- while adding a turn-on circuit I let a small screw roll under the power board. Worked through all of that circuitry, probably replacing a MOSFET and PWM controller that were not bad but I was following the service manual. Finally figured out that the power supply is in working order when the inverter section (for the backlights) is disconnected. When the +12 supply to the inverter is disconnected the +12 and +5 will come up...
