Here's an LDU inverter stand I made: https://www.westside-ev.com/s/LDU-Inverter-Stand.stl

Just connect two of them to one of the three metal phase support structures and lay the inverter on its side. Way more stable than vertical.
got a picture of how it works?

Re: Inverter / LDU 3D printed tools

I actually sell these (not trying to advertise. Just explaining why I don't release the files). I have some other misc tools that are simple and I share. I'll post them.

Inverter / LDU 3D printed tools

As part of the work we do at the shop I found that it's best to design some tools to make things easy to do the work.

Below, a few of the tools I designed and 3D printed.

I am looking for a complete test procedure for inverters or any ideas on how to test them and possibly repair.

Tests that I currently do: (feel free to correct my readings if you ...
