 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

I had 3 empty din slots left in the Main Fuse box  now only one slot left, but everything had been upgraded to full individual RCBO when I had the Main Fuse box updated.NANO:Inverter V 8.2ks - Linux AvrDude GUI script V4.1 |

FYI: Opened the time switch Din unit, quality sealed 240vac 30A relay, easily replaceable thick coin size rechargeable battery in a battery holder, and a small easy to un-plug & remove LCD/clock controller. . Edited 2026-04-20 14:24 by KeepIS NANO:Inverter V 8.2ks - Linux AvrDude GUI script V4.1 |

Hi All, My name is Jake and I live in South Wales (the old one  ). I have been lurking in this forum for a long while now. I am a proper rookie when it comes to power electrics but I have tried to learn as much I could from your post and discussions. I am very grateful to all of you for sharing your knowledge, effort and time. Obviously, special thanks to Wiseguy and Poida who started developing nano-verter and to many others contributing as well. And I would also like to mention KeepIs who has not only contributed to this project a lot but who also sent me the pcb boards and made it possible for me to try to build this inverter - thank you very much once again, Mike. I have already tried to build Ozinverter. I bought pcb's and manual from clockmanfr but I had some problems making it work: a few blow ups... Eventually, I got it working but my happiness only lasted a few days, unfortunately. It just blew up again… I replaced all fets and drivers and it was working on the bench but I couldn’t start it up again when connected to batteries – the chip simply hung up every time. I swopped a few of them and the same problem occurred. So, I pressed the reset button and it blew up again… and I had enough. Then I came across this nano design and decided to give it another go. I have my new control board soldered and I have already started to solder the power board. I hope I didn’t bore you too much and you wouldn’t mind me asking some basic, newbie questions sometimes… |

Great to hear from you Jake, the Ozinverter is a great inverter, and there are many working and still running, however, like most previous designs, they can be unforgiving if there is a build or component error, more components usually get destroyed along the way when something goes wrong. No inverter is immune from that completely, but the WG Power board design with easily removable FET dynamite sticks (CAP Boards) in conjunction with the Nano SPWM module using the WG balanced SPWM drive system and the robust isolated WG controller design, all go a long way towards mitigating most of these problems. Feel free to ask any questions here, or you might prefer to start another thread with the build progress, either way, problems you might encounter would still be of great help to others still considering their own build.  EDIT: No questions are considered basic here, everyone one of us had a learning curve, and most builders have initially blown a FET or 50 in their inverter, we sometimes forget that we are building a very powerful DIY device, so if anyone has the slightest doubt about something in the build, no matter how basic it may seem, please absolutely ask. The Backshed is one of the few Forums that has remained friendly, welcoming and genuinely willing to help. . Edited 2026-04-21 08:25 by KeepIS NANO:Inverter V 8.2ks - Linux AvrDude GUI script V4.1 |
