I have a Wen Power
hi
check that the voltage regulator is in good working order,
check insure the governor is free from dirt and that the retainer light spring is not fouling , and check the volcanizing elements are not shot circuiting or the insulation is braking down

I have a Cobra 1500W power inverter. The alarm is going off when the inverter is shut off. I drive a truck and have unplugged all appliances from the inverter and the alarm is still going off. What
I can only give some general thoughts on this, I have patched up a few inverters.
Their core parts rely on a component called capacitors these over time degrade with heat which reduces their manufactured value this will mean they fail to fully do their job. The usual result is not providing a smooth supply rail allowing voltage spikes which trip over and under voltage sensing firing off the alarm, more so when not loaded with appliances as spikes can become large.
Your appliances would be snubbing out these through their loading but this can be trouble because they are absorbing this extra energy which may damage them eventually.
This situation will possibly get worse with the inverter failing, it will need a service engineer to work on it or to purchase a new one if there is no local regional repair place.
Look up faulty capacitors in power supplies on the web for an insight.
Hope this helps........
