Power Inversion? This Sun-800 800 Watt Power Inverter connects to a 12 Volt car, van or boat battery and inverts the power to provide mains electricity.
The Sun-800 800 Watt 12V power inverter connects directly to the car or boat battery with the supplied round end leads. The Sun-800 800W 12 Volt Power Inverter has two universal 3 pin AC power sockets and will take UK or European Schuko plugs. The unit has a continuous maximum power output of 800 Watts. On start up the Sun-800 inverter can output up to 1600 Watts. This is to account for the start up surge you get with some appliances.
What Can I Use It With?
Everything with a rating of 800W or below. This would include portable TVs, DVD players, some medium duty power tools (check the tool's rating to be sure) notebook computers, low wattage microwave ovens, video cameras, portable hi-fis, electric shavers etc. This is a modified sine wave inverter, so is ideal for everything except heavy inductive and capacitive loads, for these it would be best to use a pure sine wave inverter.
Do not use a modified sine wave inverter with fluorescent lighting, the capacitive load may damage the inverter.
Safety?
The Sun-800 800 Watt 12 Volt Power Inverter has heavy duty fuse protection. The unit is fused and comes with four spare spade fuses. The Sun-800 is a soft start inverter so it can power most reactive loads. It is a modified sine wave output inverter with reduced noise on output, so it is suitable for most electronic apparatus. When the Sun-800 is working at full power it will draw a very large current – over 80 amps. If the supply voltage drops to 10.5v there is a high pitched audible warning. If the voltage drops to 10v the overload trips or the fuses blow. This is to protect the batteries from being completely flattened. For use with inverters like this deep cycle batteries are better than car or leisure batteries. If the batteries are charged by an engine (car or boat), it helps to have the engine running, (charging) when using a large load. Inverters are temperature sensitive - in use they create heat and their capacity depends on their ability to dissipate this heat. Allow good ventilation. Operating ambient temperature 5 to 25 degrees Celsius. Above 20 degrees the power capacity drops off.
