Description

This 12V DC to 230V AC inverter turns the direct current of a battery into alternating current, so you can run 230V appliances of up to 600W even on the move. Compact and with real power on tap, it suits cars, motorhomes, boats, camping solar systems and off-grid cabins.

It has a 5V/2.1A USB port for charging smartphones and other electronic devices, and full protection against overload, overheating, short circuit, reverse polarity, overvoltage and undervoltage. The soft start function gives connected equipment a gentle start-up, cutting the initial current peaks.

The output waveform is a modified sine wave, suitable for most common electronic devices (but not for induction motors or rotating machinery). The sturdy aluminium body has a Schuko socket for the 230V AC output, holes for fixed mounting, a status LED and an external fuse for added safety.

A dependable choice as an emergency power supply, or simply to have power wherever you need it.
