Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 - True Sine Wave Inverter
Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 - True Sine Wave Inverter — Product description
Unlock Reliable Power On the Go with True Sine Wave Technology
Imagine powering your sensitive electronics, kitchen appliances, or power tools seamlessly during long hauls in your commercial truck, weekend getaways in your RV, or days out on the water in your marine vessel. This inverter transforms your 12V DC battery into clean 120V AC power, mimicking utility grid electricity. Unlike modified sine wave alternatives that can cause humming, overheating, or damage to devices, true sine wave output ensures smooth operation for everything from laptops and TVs to microwaves and variable-speed motors.
With a robust 1800W continuous output and a 3000W surge rating, it handles startup demands effortlessly—think refrigerators kicking on or air conditioners cycling up. At 90% efficiency, it minimizes battery drain, letting you stretch your power longer between charges.
Standout Features for Everyday Reliability
Crafted for durability in demanding environments, this unit packs smart conveniences into a compact 13.7 x 11.8 x 3.9-inch chassis weighing just over 10 pounds. Key highlights include:
- Integrated Digital Display: Monitors DC voltage and real-time AC output power at a glance, plus error codes for quick troubleshooting.
- Convenient USB Port: Delivers 5V/500mA to charge phones, tablets, or other gadgets without extra adapters.
- Dual GFCI-Protected Outlets: Two North American-style receptacles with ground fault protection for safer operation around water or in wet conditions.
- Heavy-Duty Terminals: Secure, high-current connections resist vibration and corrosion common in mobile setups.
- Remote On/Off Capability: Optional switch with ignition lockout prevents accidental drain when your vehicle is off.
Output stays steady at 60Hz within 104-127V range, with no-load draw under 0.8A to conserve energy when idle.
Advanced Protection Keeps You Safe and Your Gear Protected
Safety isn't an afterthought—it's built-in across multiple layers. Low voltage alarm triggers at 11V DC and shutdown at 10.5V to safeguard batteries from deep discharge. Over-voltage cuts off at 15.5V, while overload, over-temperature, and GFCI protections prevent fires or shocks. These features exceed basic standards, meeting UL458 for peace of mind in certified installations.
In real-world use, we've seen these safeguards shine: averting meltdowns from power-hungry tools or alerting users to failing alternators before stranding occurs.
Perfect Fit for Mobile Lifestyles
RV Enthusiasts
Run coffee makers, CPAP machines, or entertainment systems off-grid without the generator noise. Its quiet fan and clean power keep inverters from interfering with inverters or audio gear.
Commercial Trucks
Power fridges for driver meals, microwaves for quick heats, or even small welders during downtime. Surge capacity tackles compressor startups common in transport refrigeration.
Marine Applications
GFCI outlets shine here, powering bait freezers, stereos, or nav electronics safely on deck. Compact size fits tight battery compartments without hogging space.
Pro tip: Pair with a 250A fuse (sold separately) and quality cables sized for your run length to optimize performance and prevent voltage drop.
Installation Made Simple for DIYers and Pros
Mount it securely in a ventilated spot away from heat sources, ideally near the battery bank. Hardwire DC inputs demand clean, polarity-correct connections—double-check with a multimeter. AC side plugs right into standard cords. Enable remote control for dash access, especially useful in cabs or helm stations. Always vent for cooling; ambient temps up to 104°F are fine, but avoid enclosed spaces.
For best results, calculate your total load: add continuous watts and factor 20% headroom. Test under load post-install to verify no faults.
FAQ
What makes true sine wave better than modified sine wave?
True sine wave delivers smooth, grid-like power that prevents damage, noise, or inefficiency in sensitive devices like medical equipment, LED lights, and motors. Modified versions can cause glitches or reduced lifespan.
Can this inverter power a microwave?
Yes, its 1800W continuous and 3000W surge handle typical 1000-1500W microwaves, including startup surge. Monitor total load to stay under limits.
Does it include battery cables or fuses?
No, it ships without cables or fuses. Use appropriately sized ones: recommend 250A fuse close to the battery for safety.
How do I know when my battery is low?
The digital display shows DC voltage. An alarm sounds at 11V, and auto-shutdown occurs at 10.5V to protect your battery.
Is it suitable for solar setups?
Absolutely, pairs well with solar batteries in RVs or off-grid marine systems. Its efficiency maximizes limited solar input.
What warranty does it come with?
Backed by a limited two-year warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
