Charger / inverter choice confusion

[Keith M]

Inverter / Chargers have one very significant advantage over separates and that is the inverter output.

 

At 12-volts Mastervolts max output for an inverter is 2000 watts but an inverter /charger 3000 watts

Does anyone rate the victron easysolar?

A problem I have with my combi is the marina supply I use is very poor, during the day the voltage can drop down to 170Vac. My combi has an under voltage disconnect of 160Vac which cannot be changed. This is fine for battery charging, but no good for running regular mains kit. With a combi that does not condition the shore supply you are stuck with whatever you get, with separates you can choose to convert AC-DC-AC to get 240Vac.

Can you not complain? Such a massive voltage drop suggest the power feed may be falling short of what is legal.
