Xantrex PROwatt SW 1400I 12VDC 230VAC 1400W True Sinewave Inverter

Power Your Adventures with Reliable True Sine Wave Output

Imagine powering your sensitive electronics, kitchen appliances, or power tools far from the grid, without worrying about damage or performance issues. The PROwatt SW 1400I delivers pure 230V AC true sine wave power from a 12V DC source, making it a game-changer for off-grid living, road trips, and marine outings. Unlike modified sine wave alternatives, this 1400W inverter produces clean electricity that mimics utility grid power, ensuring compatibility with everything from laptops and TVs to microwaves and variable-speed motors.

Designed for demanding environments like RVs, commercial trucks, and boats, it handles high surge loads effortlessly—think starting air conditioners or refrigerators with ease. Its rugged build and smart protections keep your setup safe, letting you focus on the journey rather than troubleshooting.

Key Advantages Over Standard Inverters

True sine wave technology stands out because it delivers smooth, undistorted power. Modified sine wave inverters can cause humming in audio equipment, overheating in motors, or even failure in modern appliances with active PFC power supplies. With the PROwatt SW 1400I:

• Enjoy quiet operation—no annoying buzz or interference.
• Extend the life of your devices with stable voltage.
• Run advanced loads like coffee makers, blenders, and medical equipment confidently.
• Achieve up to 90% efficiency, minimizing battery drain during extended use.

Surge Power for Tough Starts

Boasting a surge rating that doubles continuous output briefly, it tackles startup currents from compressors and pumps. Perfect for those moments when you need instant power without voltage drops.

Smart Features for Everyday Reliability

Built with user-friendly tech, this inverter simplifies monitoring and control:

• Integrated Digital Display: Real-time view of battery voltage and output wattage at a glance.
• Heavy-Duty Terminals: Secure, corrosion-resistant connections for hassle-free wiring to your battery bank.
• Optional Remote Switch: Mount it conveniently with ignition lockout to prevent accidental drains when the vehicle is off.
• Comprehensive Protections:
  • Low voltage alarm at 11.0V and shutdown at 10.5V to protect batteries.
  • Over-voltage cutoff at 15.5V.
  • Automatic overload and over-temperature shutdowns with quick reset.

These safeguards prevent common pitfalls like deep battery discharge or fire risks, giving peace of mind in remote locations.

Versatile Applications Across Industries

RV and Camping Enthusiasts

Turn your camper into a home away from home. Power TVs for movie nights, charge devices overnight, or run a small AC unit on hot evenings—all without generator noise.

Marine Boaters

Saltwater tough, it handles onboard needs like bait freezers, navigation gear, and entertainment systems. Compact size fits tight bilges or cabins easily.

Commercial Trucks and Work Sites

Keep tools sharp and crews productive with reliable AC for welders, grinders, and lighting. Ignition lockout ensures it only runs when needed.

Off-Grid Solar Setups

Pair with solar panels and batteries for sustainable power. Its efficiency maximizes your renewable energy harvest.

Installation is straightforward: hardwire to batteries with appropriate fuses, vent for cooling, and you're set. GFCI outlets provide extra safety for plugged-in loads.

Tips for Maximizing Performance and Longevity

To get the most from your inverter:

• Use deep-cycle batteries rated for inverter use—AGM or lithium for best results.
• Keep leads short and thick (at least 4/0 AWG) to reduce voltage drop.
• Ensure good airflow around the unit to avoid thermal throttling.
• Match loads to the 1400W continuous rating; derate in high ambient temps.
• Regularly check battery health and clean terminals for optimal efficiency.

With proper setup, expect years of dependable service backed by a solid warranty.
