| You
have work to do far from a regular power supply or you're getting away but
want to take some of the comforts of home with you.
The problem is that you need
a reliable 240 volt supply for cooking, power tools, computers and refrigeration
- even for lighting or a microwave oven!
And you want convenient power,
without the noise and weight of a generator.
If so, you need an inverter
to reliably and silently convert battery power to the 240 volt AC power
supply you need to run standard appliances anywhere you go - at the flick
of a switch!.
Now, life in the great outdoors
is so easy for you! You don't need a generator and you don't have to buy
expensive 12 volt equipment and appliances. With an inverter, you have EXACTLY
what you want! Reliable, silent, non-polluting 240 volt power. Anywhere,
anytime.
How it works...
Inverters take 12 or 24 volt
DC power from your car, plant or boat batteries and turn it into 240 volt
AC power. With their leading edge technology, you turn your batteries into
power points on land or on sea. It's simple, clean, silent and easy.
From microwave to
flood-lights...
Inverters exploit microchip
technology for maximum efficiency. They're lightweight, compact and versatile.
And with their special phase correcting electronics, you can plug in and
run almost any ordinary AC appliance for work or play.
See how you'll
save...
As well as being heavy and
noisy, generators cost about $2 per watt. Compare this to inverters which
cost around $1.25 per watt. With an inverter you have no oil, filters,
maintenance, spare parts or fuel either (in fact, a number of environmental
parks now ban generators).
Built to last...
The internal components of
inverters are built to take the knocks. The circuit boards are specially
tropicalised to handle humid and hot conditions. And with proper installation,
your inverter will pump out the power year after year.
So easy for you to
use...
All inverters are easy to use.
They have built-in protection features and clear displays that always ensure
you know how much life is left in your battery, and when your battery needs
recharging. You won't get caught without power when you need it.
A unit to suit
you...
The first step is to select
a unit that suits your needs. You can have a hand held unit to power your
laptop or have a larger unit installed to create a fully powered
do-anything-you-want environment just like home. The following guide will
allow you to pick the inverter best suited to your application. Most products
have the power consumption on a plate affixed to them.

**NB: For large amperage
loads it is vital that you consult a BATTERY SPECIALIST for the correct battery
type & size. Figures are a guide only - check the compliance plate on
your unit for accurate power consumption. Figures are also based on a fully
charged and well maintained battery and are for continuous use. Intermittent
use or running your engine can extend times!
All units have greater than
90% efficiency, weigh from .52 to 3.7kg and have high surge capacity.
They also feature low battery alarm and shut down protection, as well as
in-built protection against overload, short circuiting and overheating features.
