PowerVerter Plus Inverter - Industrial-Strength Power for Heavy-Duty Applications

Highlights

12V DC input; 120V AC output; 2 outlet

1250 watts continuous output

Peak surge output: OverPower (up to 1 hour) - 1875 watts, Double-Boost (up

to 10 seconds) - 2500 watts

High efficiency power conversion

Automatic overload protection

Description

Harness your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road or power tools at a work site. Continuously supplies up to 1250 watts

of 120V AC power to 2 AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. Frequency control locks AC output at 60Hz for operating stability

of motor loads. Includes a set of high current DC input terminals for simple, permanent installation. Highly reliable large transformer design

specializes in powering motors and other inductive loads with high-current startup needs.

PowerVerter Plus Inverters accommodate "peak surge" demands by delivering more output power than their continuous rating. Compare the

"Continuous" and "Peak Surge" wattage ratings, and you'll find PowerVerter Plus Inverters supply up to double their output to easily handle

equipment start up and motor cycling requirements. A DoubleBoost feature provides up to 200% of the continuous output for up to 10 seconds,

providing the extra power needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment. An OverPower feature delivers up to 150% of the continuous

output for up to 1 hour.

Applications

Ideal for power tools, pumps, fans, desktop computer systems, laptops, portable electronics, battery chargers for cell phones, pagers,

notepads and games, full size TV-VCR & stereo systems, camcorders, lighting and other AC applications under 1250 watts continuous/2500

watts peak.
