I Recieved the Topshak 5000W Unit today. It‘s huge, so I think it’s powerful. Build Quality looks decent. The manual says it can handle 10000W for a short time. If that’s true that would be great, because I thought the 5000W is the max rating and it’s really just a 2500W unit. The cables are 16mm^2 which is very thin for 5000W. Considering it’s a 12V circuit at 5000W there’s 417 Amps. (Amps=Watt/Volt) For 417 Amps you would need a 185mm^2 cable (around 11,5 times bigger diameter than the provided cable) according to a table by the Association of German Electricians. I use 35mm^2 cables because I only want to use 1500W. The manual says that they recommend 1,5m long cables but they don’t say anything about the diameter. This is dangerous because a lot of people will install it on their own instead of letting an electrician do the job Even if they are not allowed to, because it doesn’t come with a plug. At least the manual says that the unit should be grounded. I think the unit will provide the power I need, and it’s Good value for money, but the cables and the manual on the wiring is a minus for me. The manual also says that connected devices can consume up to 10 times more Watts than their rating in the first seconds so if you want to connect a drill for example with more than 1000w rating, the unit might not handle it. TLDR Use 35 or better 50mm^2 cables, Ground the Unit properly, Don’t expect everything over 1000w to work with this unit. Better let an electrician do the job.

Q: 6000w is exactly 6000w ?

niclas.internchina The manual says that the peak power is double the rated power. I have the 5000w unit just to make shure it can handle everything I plug in. I don’t really trust the rating even though this inverter is huge.
