The voltage from your inverter is a little different than the voltage in your home. Outlet testers are intended for testing normal utility power in your home. With normal utility power, the neutral and ground are connected together in your fuse box. Outlet testers are designed under this assumption. The outlet on your power inverter, however, is not configured exactly the same as in your home.
It is normal for an outlet tester to show an open ground. This does not indicate a problem with your inverter. Your power inverter is not weatherproof, so it needs to be installed where it will be protected from heat and moisture. Keep a minimum 1 inch clearance around the inverter for ventilation. If the battery voltage gets too low, your inverter will sound a low-voltage alarm.
This can happen for any of the following reasons:. If you get low voltage alarm then try running the engine so that the alternator is supplying extra power. If you get the alarm even with the alternator running, then check all the cable connections. There might be a loose connection somewhere. If your inverter has more than one AC outlet, the full inverter power is available from any of the outlets.
