12V Soft Start Modified Sine Wave Inverter 1500W

The MERCURY 12V Soft Start Modified Sine Wave Inverter is a high-efficiency power solution designed to convert 12V DC battery power into 230V AC mains electricity, enabling you to run and charge standard equipment on the go. It utilises a modified sine wave output, making it ideal for a wide range of common appliances and tools that don't require a pure sine wave.

This robust inverter boasts an impressive efficiency rating of over 90%, ensuring minimal power loss and maximising the usable energy from your battery source. A key feature is its soft start technology, which gradually ramps up power to inductive loads like motors and compressors, preventing sudden high-current surges that could cause the inverter to shut down. This makes it highly reliable for use with larger equipment.

Advanced Protection & Features

Engineered for safety and durability, the inverter includes comprehensive protection systems: reverse polarity protection safeguards against incorrect battery connection, while low and over-voltage input protection ensures stable operation within safe parameters. It also features short circuit, overload, and overheat protection to prevent damage to both the inverter and connected devices. A clear LED and audible siren provide instant fault indication for quick troubleshooting.

For added convenience, a built-in 500mA USB socket allows for charging smartphones and other small USB-powered devices directly. The package includes a pair of 800mm heavy-duty DC power cables and a spare blade fuse for straightforward installation.
