Power your 220 volt international microwaves, power tools, electronics and household appliances in a car, truck or RV. This heavy-duty inverter connects directly to a 12 volt automotive automotive or marine battery and converts the 12 volt direct current (DC) power supplied by the battery to European 220 volt alternating current (AC) power.

A power inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC). These inverters are intended to be connected to a 12 volt DC power source, such as an automotive or marine battery source. The inverter converts the 12 volts DC provided by the source, to 220 volts AC for consumption by small household 220 volt AC appliances which consume less than 3500 watts. The inverter is wired directly to the source with battery cables (not included), and provides two "universal" 220V/50Hz AC electrical sockets which will accept almost any household plug type used worldwide (with the exception of the South African plug type.)

PowerBright, an innovator in portable inverter design, has developed a new line of super-efficient power inverters with the highest surge capability in the industry. These extremely advanced, microprocessor controlled units run cooler and more reliable than any in their class. Their superior surge capability allows them to start even the most difficult loads, including color televisions, TV/VCR combinations, microwaves, refrigeration units, and even small air conditioners! They also boast the highest efficiency available (up to 90%), which translates into longer running time and extended battery life.

PowerBright Inverters convert low voltage, direct current (DC) to 220 volt alternating current (AC). Depending on the model and its rated capacity, the inverters draw power either from standard 12 volt automobile and marine batteries or from portable high power 12 volt sources.

INVERTER PROTECTION FEATURES:
The RED LED Indicator light will turn on and the inverter will turn itself off automatically when:
1. The power input from the battery drops to 9.5 volts. (When the power input drops to 10.5 volts, an alarm will sound for an extended period).
2. The power input from the battery exceeds 15.5 volts.
3. The continuous draw of the equipment or appliance being operated exceeds 3500 watts.
4.The surge draw of the equipment or appliance being operated exceeds 7000 watts.
5. The circuit temperature exceeds 165°F

The inverter is equipped with a thermal fan which is designed to run if the inverter should need to be cooled while the inverter is operation. Automatic shut down caused by high circuit temperatures will occur when the cooling fan is unable to maintain a cool enough temperature for safe operation of the inverter.
