- Product description
With the inverters you can operate household appliances that require 230 V/120 V alternating current with leisure or car batteries with 12 V, 24 V or 48 V direct current.
Models:250 VA, 375 VA, 500 VA, 800 VA, 1200 VA
Proven reliability
The full bridge and toroidal transformer topology has proven itself over many years. The inverters are short-circuit-proof and protected against overheating, whether due to overload or high ambient temperature.
ECO mode
In ECO mode, the inverter switches to standby mode when the load falls below a preset value (minimum load: 15 W). In standby mode, the inverter switches on for a short time (adjustable, default: every 2.5 seconds). If the load exceeds a preset value, the inverter remains switched on.
High starting power
Required for starting loads such as power converters for LED lamps, halogen lamps or power tools.
