I have a DR Xantrex inverter of 1500watts which in my village office whic powers two computers, four funs and three 11 watt bulbs but what amuses me is that the computers at times all lose power and restart again when other loads are still OK and the inverter is not showing any signs of low battery or overload and my wiring is perfect. What do you think the problem is? thanks

We have reliable electricity so we do not use inverters to power computers.
The spec's for the Canadian made inexpensive modified sine-wave inverter does not say its output voltage is regulated. |

The inverter we are talking about is an american make Xantrex/Trace DR series of 1500watts and has all certifcates of quality i dont think such a thing as unregulated power is possible. What amuses me is that these computers that am having (Dell Optiplex360) are designed in such a way that when power fails and is restored again you have to maualy turn them on. They dont automaticaly turn them selves on but with this case they automaticaly restart themselves and all of them at once. Could it be a problem of spikes or transients of other inductive loads like funs? |

Maybe the output voltage of the inverter is not regulated so the voltage drops too low when the computers work hard (draw more current). |

What could be the possible causes of these brownouts when the batteries are still charged? thanks Dennis |

Maybe the reboots are happening because of a brown out from the inverter? |
