They may be used intensively for multiple leisure or professional applications requiring mobile energy.
What is an inverter?
Inverters convert the 12 volts DC, nearly always coming from batteries, into household-like 120 volts AC current so that it can be used by common tools and domestic appliances.
What size of inverter do I need? The size of your inverter will determine the maximum amount of power that you can use at any one time. We strongly recommend that you buy an inverter larger than you think you require; this will allow you to run many appliances. To calculate the power required, you must add the watts of all the appliances you are planning to run simultaneously. As the power of some appliances is indicated in amperes, the following formula will allow you to convert it to watts: Amperes x Volts = Watts (for example: 10 amps x 120 volts = 1200 watts). Our models range in size from 150W to 2500W*.
What is the Peak Power? At start-up, appliances may use two to four times their rated power for a very brief period; this is called the peak power. If an appliance requires more power than your system can provide, the appliance will not start or it could damage your installation or the appliance itself if attempted too often. To avoid this kind of problem, turn on your appliances one at the time or buy a larger power inverter with an adequate peak power capacity.
Modified or Pure Sinewave? Pure sinewave inverters produce electrical power with a waveform equivalent to the one produced by utilities. All electrical appliances, computers and other electronic equipment are designed to run on pure sinewave electrical supply. Some electronic equipment, such as the latest generation of PCs, are extremely power sensitive and the smallest variation in the electrical sinewave can result in erratic behaviour, poor performance or simply a system crash. You can virtually eliminate all the related problems by using a pure sinewave inverter for all your sensitive electronics. However, the production cost of inverters having a pure sinewave output is higher. This is why we produce high quality modified sinewave inverters using advanced electronic components and circuitry that closely match the behaviour of pure sinewave. Because of their lower cost and high efficiency, modified sinewave inverters are used worldwide to operate many types of household equipment. The E and HD series, more expensive than the M series, offer you one of the best modified sinewave in the industry at a reasonable cost. However, it is important to keep in mind that some sensitive electronic equipment should be used only with pure sinewave*.
