Jim,

The main problem with the older Trace 32 volt inverters is that Trace is
running out of parts with which to repair them.  The only way to know for
sure is to take/send it in to their facility in Redmond WA 360-435-8826, so
they can troubleshoot it to determine whether they can repair it or not.

You might also want to look around for a used model so you have some options
in repair now and in the future.

Good luck,

Bob Lowe

Have a  wonderful Trace U2232 Inverter (32Volt).  Morning after a

thunderstorm, I turned it on and it went POOF.  Appears to have lost a FET
(transistor).

Trace can/will not support me as it is discontinued model. Solatron offered
help, but minimum charge for bench inspection was too much for me.

Any help will be appreciated.  It is a lovely unit and I have a big
investment in my 32volt base system.<<<

Correction,

Trace is located in Arlington WA  which is considerably further north  than
Redmond.
