Choosing the right Inductor for aftermarket inverter motherboard
Fabian
Registered Users Posts: 136 ✭✭
I am rebuilding my 48v 10,000 power jack split phase inverter that uses a EI type transformer by installing a aftermarket pure sinewave inverter motherboard.
The problem i am facing is that i am not sure which size amp and UH inductor to use because this is a requirement for installing the new board.
The inductor will decrease the standby current of the motherboard but u have to choose it correctly for it to work good.
Please take a look on the motherboard and also the size inductors in the links below and tell me which size inductor i should use.

One possible idea--If you have longer periods of low/standby power usage (LED Lighting, Security System, etc.)--Install a second smaller AC inverter to power just those loads --was save running the larger inverter for those "large/optional" AC loads.
In the 'olden days', there were not many "low power" 48 VDC inverters out there... Today there are quite a few options.

I already know about that. I just want to rebuild the inverter asap but want to purchase the inductor but confused as to what size to pick. Please help me guys.

Without the specific technical specifications (datasheet) for your new inverter motherboard, anyone who suggests a specific inductor value (µH) and current rating (A) is making a blind guess. Using the wrong inductor can lead to immediate failure (burning out the MOSFETs on the board) or poor performance (low efficiency, overheating).
