A power inverter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) output from a battery into 230V alternating current (AC) mains electricity. This type of electricity is what is supplied by utility companies to power standard domestic appliances like TVs, fridges, radios, lights, as well as to charge laptops and mobile phones. By connecting a power inverter to a battery, you can power household appliances in areas that do not have access to mains electricity, such as in a motorhome, caravan, boat, farm, or any remote location. Inverters are also ideal for off-grid and backup systems for unexpected power outages. The 3000W 24V pure sine wave power inverter can generate 3000W of continuous power and up to 6000W of power at peak times. This peak time reserve capacity is useful for appliances that require more energy to start than for their continuous running. This inverter provides a pure sine wave output, meaning that the 230V AC output harmonically follows a smooth sine wave and is almost identical to normal mains electricity.

The pure sine wave output is far superior to square sine wave or modified sine wave output for running appliances. This is because it is suitable for a broader range of appliances (modified sine wave inverters cannot power appliances with electric motors, for example) and is more efficient compared to modified sine wave inverters. Additionally, this product comes with important protection and safety features such as over-discharge, overload, overheating, and short-circuit automatic shutdown.

The inverter also features a powerful USB port for faster charging of mobile phones, MP3 players, and other USB-compatible devices (2.1A). It also comes with a remote on/off switch with a 5m cable for remote monitoring and powering of the inverter.

For users of our solar charging systems: this inverter can be connected to your 24V battery/battery bank alongside any of our solar systems or charging kits. If you already have one of our 24V solar charging kits with a charge controller connected to your 24V battery, you can add this inverter to your existing system (connect the inverter to your battery in parallel with the solar controller and 24V appliances). If the solar charge controller has a pair of "load" terminals, please do not connect the inverter to this pair of terminals as the power may be too high for the solar controller. We recommend connecting it to your 24V battery directly.

If you do not currently have one of our 24V solar charging kits but plan on building an off-grid solar system with 230V mains output, we recommend using 24V batteries/24V solar charging kits and this inverter with a 24V input voltage, rather than having all 12V components and an inverter with a 12V input voltage. Higher voltage of the system components is beneficial because:

- Cables for 24V do not have to be as thick as those required for 12V.

- Input into the power inverter will have a twice as low current (Amps), making the whole system more stable and reliable.
