How to pre-charge an inverter easily
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.

Pre-charging with resistor.
The main switch should be rated for the draw on the inverter. The complexity of the circuit would depend on how often you are connecting your battery and inverter.

What size resistor for inverter fire-up?
I''m going to buy a 24v inverter - around 2000 watts or maybe 1500, depending on the best price I can find at the time. Looking at Amazon resistors, I''m seeing from 1 to 1 million ohms.

I see Will uses a [Resistor] when connecting an inverter to a battery
Search this forum for "precharge resistor" or "pre-charge resistor". There are several good threads on the subject of its use with an inverter to avoid big sparks.

Inverter pre-charge resistor size?
With the 1ohm resister, though, I can easily fully power the inverter (with no external load, of course) over the resistor. Not that you really need to, but all you really need to do with the resistor

Inverter pre-charge resistor size?
On every system I''ve ever built, I used a 10w 10ohm resistor, doing it the old fashioned way. Even for dual 48v Victron Quattro 10k''s, it wasn''t too low of a resistance, and works good on

Do I need to pre charge a 24v 1500w inverter before connecting to
If you have the ability to turn the inverter off and on, by something other than a circuit breaker (so caps remain connected even when off), then any resistor or light bulb will do, so long as
