Re: (ET) Inverters

 Chris,
 The original breaker for that was an 8A. I would hesitate to up the 
rating. 8A breakers are available at a reasonable price that mount 
differently than the original but work fine.
 The DC side is permanent magnet. (as is the AC side)
 Sincerely,
 Harold Z.

Hm. I think my inverter has a 7 amp Klixon on the AC side; that is what  
appears to "blow". Maybe it's bad. However does anyone know if the  
Elec-trak one (mine is red) can be run at 10 amps? I might put a 10a  
breaker in it if so.

It seems to try to keep a certain speed, I wonder if the DC side of it  is 
a shunt motor (which would do it's best to keep the same RPM) or not.  
Anyone know?

Thanks!
Chris
