No, not on the original test unit displayed....

Took off the 240v outer winding, and seriesed the 130v inner windings for 260v, then wound the primary over that... much faster, but under powered and tempory... but works very very well even so.

It proved the point, so then unwound two cores and rewound fully after I knew it would work.

Might seem like a dumb question but which way does the cooling fan blow on these inverters ? I want to add a second fan to aid cooling and don't want it to fight the existing fan. I thought I read somewhere the cooling fan blows from in to out but it is better to turn it around so that it sucks air in and blows it over the heat sinks

I finally got the fan to kick in. It sucks in from outside.
