The product, in the report: https://www.renogy.com/2000w-12v-pure-sine-wave-inverter-charger-w-lcd-display/ Model R-INVT-PCL1-20111S The Renogy 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger can be used for multiple applications when going off-grid. A power inverter is an electrical device that transforms the DC power stored in a battery bank into standard household AC power for a user’s electronic needs. This device can also charge and maintain a battery bank when connected to shore power and is now compatible with Lithium batteries. With a low transfer time, power remains uninterrupted when switching from solar to shore power. This creates clean and silent energy without having to worry about losing access to connected devices and appliances. The Renogy 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger is a perfect back-up power source!
I purchased a Renogy inverter/charger (R-INVT-PCL1-20111S) on 11/30/2020 as part of a solar power and lithium battery upgrade for my RV. The first unit that I purchased directly from Renogy was not working correctly, so I purchased a second one from Renogy and also a third from Amazon. All three inverter/chargers had the same Issue. There is a circuit within the unit called the Automatic Neutral to Ground bonding circuit that is a safety feature required by UL458 to prevent ground loops and ungrounded AC circuits in mobile homes that is not working correctly. In fact, it is programmed to work backward, bonding when it should be unbonded and unbonding when it should be bonded. This caused over $200 worth of damages to my RV, caused the GFCI circuit within my RV to trip constantly and posed the potential for electrocution hazard because it caused 60VAC to be present between ground an neutral of the AC receptacles. I have since replaced the Renogy inverter/charger with a unit from [REDACTED], a competing manufacturer, which works correctly. Renogy has denied the hazards I witnessed and has done nothing to correct the problem other than to provide a (yet to materialize) refund for returning the items. I have lots of email correspondence with them stating UL458 compliance but at the same time discounting the need for this automatic circuit despite it being outlined in their user manual. I have created videos of the issue: [REDACTED]
