  • 12V DC input; 120V AC output; 4 outlets
  • 1800 watts continuous output
  • 3600 watts peak output (instantaneous)
  • Powers an entire mobile office

  • 1-year limited warranty

Overview

Utilize your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road or power tools at a work site. Continuously supplies up to 1800 watts of 120V AC power to 4 AC outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. Includes a set of nut-and-bolt style DC terminals for simple installation. Compact, lightweight metal case design is among the smallest, most rugged inverters available at this power level.

NOTE: To protect against high current draw that may occur during inverter failure, a fuse link rated at 250a should be positioned no more than 18" from the PV1800HF's battery in the positive line.

Features

  • Allows users to run AC appliances from a properly sized 12V battery or automotive DC system
  • Converts 12V DC battery power to 120V AC power
  • 1800 watts continuous output power; 3600 watts peak output power (instantaneous)
  • 4 outlets
  • Compact, lightweight design with grooved surface for efficient cooling, all-metal housing
  • Diagnostic LEDs indicates low battery voltage level and load level
  • Low battery alarm with auto-shutoff prevents deep battery discharge
  • High-efficiency operation conserves batteries to prolong run time
  • Cooling fan regulates internal temperature and prolongs unit service life

Package Includes

  • PV1800HF Inverter
  • Warranty information
  • Instruction manual
RoHS compliant

Questions & Answers

FC-series inverters are able to support an overpower situation for an hour, so they are better suited for industrial or heavy-duty devices. HF-series inverters are not capable of supporting overpower situations for more than 500 milliseconds.

Yes, we offer Pure Sine Wave Inverters. Visit our Inverters product category and filter for Pure Sine Wave Output. A pure sine wave inverter produces a smooth, sinusoidal AC output with a low level of distortion for better performance. A PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) Wave inverter produces a multi-step AC output that approximates a sinusoidal AC output with a higher level of distortion.
