Fluctuating ac output voltage on Phoenix 1200

Hi there, I have a Phoenix 24v 1200w inverter. My app shows the voltage output as a stable 220v never fluctuating. I’ve been having issues with electronics, computers etc, so I checked the voltage output off my sockets and it fluctuating between 213 and 220v. Never stable. Does anyone no what’s going on? I’m worried it’s damaging my electronics.

Many thanks,

Jake

Check your wiring maybe something has gotten looses or shorting?

Did you check voltage at the ac out of the inverter? Both with wiring connected and without?

It is possible the correct voltage is being produced but being messed up in circuit.

I just checked ac output at the inverter cables disconnected and the same thing happening. Voltage ranging from around 213-220. Any more ideas? :)

@Jakewalters stupid question have are using the eco mode ? As if your consumption is around 15-20W, it may create a false detection (as nothing being connected) and having the a spike returning back to 220V. Mine is set 235VAC and it can vary a little 233-235VAC. Check that, and also increase your voltage to 230VAC which is the electrical standard now in most of the devices.
