Here's what that inverter replaced. This is an old inverter made by Trace, which was a big name in off-grid inverters back in the day. It was working until recently, when I was told it started shutting down randomly and beeping with some sort of alarm. We were talking about replacing it anyway; it's an inverter/charger like the Victron, but for whatever reason wouldn't charge from our backup generator. It's also modified sine wave (more like a square wave), made an audible buzzing noise, and wouldn't run the ceiling fan in this building.

I grabbed it since we were going to throw it out. I'm not sure how much effort it's worth to get it going again, but I've wanted to take one of these apart.
