Introduction

The XPower Inverter 3000 has been designed to give you quality power,
ease of use, and reliability.
Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize yourself with
the main performance features and protection features.

Quality Power

The XPower Inverter 3000 is a quality inverter designed for recreational
vehicle (RV) and truck applications.
• The inverter provides up to 2500 watts of continuous power. It is
designed to handle loads such as microwaves, refrigerators, freezers,
circular saws, and small air compressors.
• The inverter's high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to-start
loads, including large TVs, refrigerators, and freezers.
• The cooling fan in the inverter is thermally activated and comes on
when the inverter becomes warm. The fan turns off automatically after
the inverter has cooled.

Ease of Use

Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of
use:
• The unit is compact, light weight, and easy to install (see XPower
Inverter 3000 Installation Guide (doc. part number: 975-0556-01-01).

control the inverter from a convenient location while the inverter itself
is mounted out of sight.

Comprehensive Protection

The XPower Inverter 3000 is equipped with numerous protection features
to guarantee safe and trouble-free operation:
Low battery alarm Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to
11.0 V or lower.
Low battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
the battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts. This feature protects the battery
from being completely discharged.
High battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
the input voltage rises to 15 volts or more.
Overload and short-circuit shutdown Shuts the inverter down
automatically if a short circuit is detected in the circuitry connected to the
inverter's output, or if the loads connected to the inverter exceed the
inverter's operating limits.
Over temperature shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if
its internal temperature rises above an unacceptable level.
