Overview
This compact 400 Watt 12V DC to 240V AC mains power inverter is designed to deliver pure AC output for delivering stable power to difficult loads. Many devices such as laptops, game consoles utilise modern switchmode power supply units which require a pure sine wave inverter to operate correctly when connected to an inverter.
All Powerhouse inverters have galvanically isolated input and output ensuring safer operation at all times. They also feature a range of protection features against reverse polarity connection, short circuit, output overloading and over temperature conditions.
Fitted with car accessory plug and 0.7m lead. For quick charging of devices in the field this inverter has also been fitted with a 2A USB output socket.
Please note however that electronic appliances with switchmode power supplies may require a surge rating of 4 to 6 times the stated rated power of the appliance. Therefore you must consider the instantaneous start up current or surge of the appliance to be powered. The soft start feature of Powerhouse inverters overcomes the majority of start up problems.

Before selecting an inverter
Due to the complex range of electrical and electronic products available, care must be taken when selecting the correct inverter. Many inverters will not start electric motors, compressors or fluorescent lighting. Powerhouse inverters will generally power these types of appliances.Please note however that electronic appliances with switchmode power supplies may require a surge rating of 4 to 6 times the stated rated power of the appliance. Therefore you must consider the instantaneous start up current or surge of the appliance to be powered. The soft start feature of Powerhouse inverters overcomes the majority of start up problems.
