SUITABLE POWER SUPPLY In order to operate the inverter and supply power to an appliance, a suitable 12VDC power supply is required. This can be a vehicle or caravan battery, portable power pack or an independent 12V lead acid battery. For most applications, a deep cycle battery is recommended for optimum performance.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is an inverter? A. Inverters are designed for powering household appliances from a battery or vehicle. They are electronic devices that convert (12VDC) battery power to (230/240VAC) mains power. Inverters are compact and often lightweight making them an ideal source of portable mains power.

Q. Why does the Inverter turn itself off? A. If the inverter makes a ’buzz’ sound and the “RED” fault light illuminates this indicates that there is a problem, and the inverter will usually turn off. Most commonly this would be caused by an appliance that is drawing too much power (overloading), low battery voltage or voltage drop due to insufficient size cables or poor connections.
