Dear all,
I have a couple of portable 400W inverters (Vector), and I plugged one in this evening, and when I put load on it, it started clicking. There were no other signs of a problem. The lights that it was running did not flicker (both florescent and incandecent), and I left them running for about 45 minutes (about a 180W load) and the inverter barely got warm. I noticed that when I increased the load, the clicking became more frequent.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I originally bought this with the intention fo running a computer off of it, but I don't want to plug a computer into it incase it smokes and takes the PC down with it.
All help is appreciated,
Cheers (although not so cheerfull),
Stephen.
