Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between true sine wave and modified sine wave?
True sine wave output matches utility power exactly, ensuring compatibility with all AC equipment. Modified sine wave can cause equipment inefficiency, noise, and potential damage to sensitive electronics.
How much battery capacity do I need for the Prosine 1800?
For continuous 1800W output, plan for at least 400-600 amp-hours of 12V battery capacity, depending on runtime requirements. Deep cycle batteries are strongly recommended.
Can this inverter handle motor starting loads?
Yes, the 2900W surge capability can handle most motor starting loads for 5+ seconds. However, verify specific motor starting requirements don't exceed surge specifications.
Is the LCD display panel mandatory?
No, the LCD display is removable and can be mounted remotely for convenient monitoring, but the inverter will operate without it connected.
What safety certifications does this inverter have?
The Prosine 1800 is CSA/NRTL certified and meets UL 458 standards, including marine supplement requirements and ABYC standards for marine applications.
Can I use this inverter while charging my batteries?
Yes, but ensure your battery charger and inverter don't interfere with each other. Many installations use transfer switches or separate circuits for optimal performance.
