Member
The PD1600 Series Inverters are 120 VAC, 60 Hz, pure sine wave inverters with integrated transfer switch. Available in 1000W, 1800W,
and 2000W models, the PD1600 Series Inverters have been robustly designed with safety and protection features for installation in recrea-
tional and commercial vehicles. With a built in transfer switch this inverter can switch seamlessly between inverter power and external
shore power without any power interruptions. It has been UL458 certified in both the US and Canada so you can feel comfortable knowing
that your inverter is safe.
With the recreational and commercial vehicle industry in mind, the PD1600 Series Inverter was designed to be compact and light-weight to
fit the strict size and weight constraints often found within vehicles. The improved thermal design reduces the ventilation space required,
which contributes to a even smaller space requirement for your inverter.
Progressive Dynamics, Inc. has a complete line of power products for your commercial and recreational vehicle needs. PDI has existing
product lines of Power Converters, Automatic Transfer Switches, AC Distribution Panels, and DC Distribution Panels. These product lines
along with the newly introduced inverters make Progressive Dynamics the only part supplier you need to build a complete power system
for your recreational or commercial vehicle. Our experienced sales and service department are available to help determine which power
solutions are best suited to your needs.
