6 FAQs about [Is it better to have a larger resistor for a 12v inverter ]

Do inverters need a resistor?

Because inverters contain capacitors, connecting them with a battery will tend to spark upon contact. To avoid this being a hazardous spark, adding a resistor in the circuit was recommended. How would such a resistor be sized, and would it be added on the positive wire between battery (or fuse if used) and inverter?

Can I use a resistor if my inverter is not plugged in?

Even with the inverter not plugged in it makes sparks Add one of these so you don't have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting the terminal to power off /on. Then you can jump the switch with the resistor (add a pigtail to one end of the resistor) before turning back on. Ps - nice username ♥ trichomes. Pretty much any resistor will work.

Is 20R a good voltage for a 48V inverter?

20R at 48V is about 2.5A or therabouts, I'd suggest that will be just fine, give it a suitably rated switch and you're good to go. You're just trying to avoid that massive (almost infinite) current splat when you first connect the discharged inverter. The Seplos 48V BMS has a 51R 10W pre-charge resistor for about 1A pre-charge.

Is a 20R resistor enough for a 48V BMS?

The Seplos 48V BMS has a 51R 10W pre-charge resistor for about 1A pre-charge. 20R at 48V is about 2.5A or therabouts, I'd suggest that will be just fine, give it a suitably rated switch and you're good to go. You're just trying to avoid that massive (almost infinite) current splat when you first connect the discharged inverter.

How to charge a DC inverter?

Pre-charging an inverter is simple. You just need to connect a suitable resistor between the DC load and inverter for a few seconds. Then, remove the resistor and connect the DC load to the inverter. The following method breaks this down, step by step. Connect the inverter to your negative and positive busbars.

How much current does a 20R inverter need?

Thailand, just north of Bangkok. 20R at 48V is about 2.5A or therabouts, I'd suggest that will be just fine, give it a suitably rated switch and you're good to go. You're just trying to avoid that massive (almost infinite) current splat when you first connect the discharged inverter.
