The last thing they need is the thought of somehow trying to makes something themselves, without a PCB, and to work with something they likely don't fully understand in a high power Inverter, introducing another unknown and doubt into the build is not wise IMHO. I can only agree. Personally, I understand my limits: my knowledge is, compared to yours, basic or... shallow? If you wrote to put 10cm long piece of wire somewhere I wouldn't dare to make it 9 or 11cm. I am simply in no position to "try/improve/experiment/add/tinker" with anything (in the inverter). I trust your knowledge and design, I don't trust myself and I am trying to stick rigorously to the design as troubleshooting and fault finding will be more complicated for me than it is for you guys. Especially, if I introduced anything more than there is in the schematic. On the other note, I wouldn't like you to think that I am not doing anything to gain some knowledge and understanding. I have read all your responses a few times and I appreciate them all. I also educate myself, reserch, read... @Phill99, I think, I undestand the concept but it still looks to complicated for me to make and implement at this stage. @Wiseguy, I studied the post and the schematic you mentioned  and it would create more questions from me to you ie. what diode, what transistor, what capacitor... I don't think you really want that 😂. Once again, thank you for your design and pcb boards and if you come to the UK I wouldn't mind buying you a drink or two... (I hope you don't drink drinks from high glass with straw, parasol and pineapple pieces in them...) @FET cemetery, the idea of using 24v kilovac and dc/dc converter looks simple enough even for me, thanks. @Revlac, I still should have it and I will try it but I was not sure if I would be able to calibrate it correctly as I have not seen arduino software and what is or is not possible to set/calibrate there. @Mab1, great to hear from you. I am in Tredegar. I will try the one I have from Ozinverter built as adviced by Revlac first. If it doesn't work I might beg you for one pretty soon. "Diolch" anyway. @KeepIS, the link you provided displays 404 page and not available in my country. But I could see similar items recommended underneath so I assume that you meant: IHV200HDANA I spent some time looking at them and I have noticed that many have branding removed or covered (photoshoped) on the pictures. To me it means: fakes. Do you think they will still work as intended? Thanks a lot   Edited 2026-05-02 07:35 by jakesea
