Inverters: Prowatt 400
DC to AC Power Inverter
The Prowatt 400 premium power-inverter provides 400 watts of continuous, portable AC power from the 12-volt DC socket in your vehicle, boat or RV. Ideal for powering recreational and mobile office equipment, Prowatt 400 transforms a vehicle's DC lighter socket into a 115-volt, AC outlet. Prowatt 400 can also surge to 800 watts, allowing it to handle equipment that requires more power at start up.
Prowatt 400 provides reliable power for recreation and leisure or work applications. When travelling with your Prowatt 400, keep your generator off and use clean and quiet AC power. Run anything you need - from standard business equipment to household electronics. Prowatt 400 is suitable for a range of electronic power products including desktop computers, fax machines, TVs up to 27", work lights, drills, fans and portable stereos.
Inverters: Prowatt 400 Features
Powers AC Products up to 400 watts
Since Prowatt 400 provides continuous power up to 400 watts, it is perfect for items such as 27" TVs, fax machines, drills, portable stereos and fans. Prowatt 400 can run a 27" TV for about 8 hours from a 75 amp-hour battery (typically found in a van or recreation vehicle). The exact run time depends on the amount of power being drawn by the application and the size and condition of the battery.
Regulated Output Protects Sensitive Equipment
Extensive protection features allow you to operate sensitive equipment with confidence. Solid-state circuitry precisely regulates the voltage and frequency of the Prowatt modified sine wave output.
Automatic shutdown and protection features
Prowatt 400 automatically shuts down at low voltage to prevent complete discharge of the vehicle's battery. This ensures that expensive batteries are protected from excessive depletion and also ensures that there is always enough charge to start the vehicle. When an appliance rated above 400 continuous watts is used with Prowatt 400, the inverter's electronics will automatically shut down the inverter without damaging the inverter or the appliance. Prowatt 400 also features an over-temperature control that shuts down the inverter if it becomes overheated.
Easy Installation
A built-in mounting bracket makes the installation of Prowatt 400 simple. Prowatt 400's binding post connectors provide maximum flexibility. With the connectors included, the binding posts allow a connection to be made to a battery or to a vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
Silent, Clean Operation
When travelling with your Prowatt inverter, keep your generator off and enjoy quiet AC power. Prowatt 400 is safe for indoor use and produces no exhaust or fumes.
One Year Warranty
Prowatt 400 comes with a one year warranty.
