If the resistor fails open circuit after a few trial starts, try a higher wattage resistor. Not all inverters have similar starting characteristics, but if it really does need a soft start, it probably needs something pretty robust. 5w should work fine. I would go with 50w metal case resistor since they are cheap.
Due to this the 12V is able to reach the inverter and operate it normally. However, as soon as an overload or over current happens at the inverter side, a large amount of current passes through the RX resistor, causing a voltage drop to develop across pin3 of the IC.
20R at 48V is about 2.5A or therabouts, I'd suggest that will be just fine, give it a suitably rated switch and you're good to go. You're just trying to avoid that massive (almost infinite) current splat when you first connect the discharged inverter. The Seplos 48V BMS has a 51R 10W pre-charge resistor for about 1A pre-charge.
If you have 50v and five ohms, the instantaneous power E squared on R, or is 500 watts. Now it depends upon the thermal mass of the resistor, and how well it can sustain that kick in the guts, and for how many times. It might only be for a few milliseconds.
This 50W 7 Ohm resistor is suitable for pre-charging large inverters in 12V systems. Pre-charging is an important safety process when using inverters larger than 2000W for the first time or after
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
This 50W 7 Ohm resistor is suitable for pre-charging large inverters in 12V systems. Pre-charging is an important safety process when using
Transistor T1 is wired as a current sensor, where the resistor R1 forms the current to voltage converter. The battery voltage has to pass through R1 before reaching the load at

Riedon offers a multitude of power film resistors in transistor outline packages that would be appropriate for many of these requirements. Our PF2470 series features power
With the inverter connected to the system, hold the resistor onto the cable lug, and press it against the battery terminal for about 30 seconds. Remove the resistor and quickly attach the
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.
In this video, I walk you through the process of building and wiring an inverter pre-charge circuit to prevent sparks and inrush current
The SG3524, MOSFET IRF3205, capacitors, resistors, variable resistor port, and a center tap transformer were used to designed and construct 12V DC / 230V AC power inverter.
In this video, I walk you through the process of building and wiring an inverter pre-charge circuit to prevent sparks and inrush current when connecting an inverter to a battery bank.
