Customer Reviews

Delivers as promised5
This inverter runs a heavy duty inflator (electric motor) with an enormous starting load - the full 3000 watts. I emailed Xantrex for the max time for the 3000 watt (RMS) startup and the reply indicated 1/10 second and it delivers. I have monitored it with an o-scope. The inflator draws about 18 amps after the initial surge then tapers back to about 12 amps. The inverter is rated at 1750 watts for 5 minutes then 1500. I'm very happy with it. My setup is 1/0 cables about 6 feet long bolted to the battery terminals with an Tyco/AMP disconnect and fuse. I run it from a truck with two large starting batteries for 5 to 10 minutes when I'm using it.

Powerful but not pricy4
I have owned a few inverters and this one is the best. My last one was a 1500 watt Xantrex which didn't have the digital reader that monitors the battery and the output. Uses minimal power when turned on and not being used. Cooling fan only comes on when needed. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Massive Power Converter5
This is a huge power converter. Do not consider it unless you plan on running it from 2 auxiliary battery's. The product works flawlessly when hooked up to the right system. The cooling fan is not loud at all. It has a voltage meter and will fault and shut off when the voltage runs to low so you will not be stuck with a dead battery in the middle of no where. Nice product!
