A 2.4kVA (2kW) / 12VDC / 240VAC Pure Sine-Wave Inverter with Charger is a versatile electronic device that converts 12-volt direct current (DC) power from a battery into 240-volt alternating current (AC) power, similar to what you get from the electrical grid. The “pure sine wave” output is crucial for powering sensitive electronics safely and efficiently. Additionally, the integrated charger function allows the inverter to recharge the connected 12V battery when AC power is available, making it a complete power solution.
Key Features:
- Power Conversion: Converts 12V DC battery power to 240V AC power.
- Power Rating: 2.4kVA (kilovolt-ampere) apparent power, which is approximately 2kW (kilowatt) real power. This indicates the maximum load it can handle.
- Pure Sine Wave Output: Provides a high-quality AC waveform that is identical or very close to the power supplied by the grid. This is essential for:
- Preventing damage to sensitive electronics (computers, laptops, audio equipment, etc.)
- Ensuring appliances run smoothly and efficiently.
- Reducing audible noise in audio equipment and motors.
- Integrated Battery Charger: Includes a built-in charger that can replenish the 12V battery from an AC power source (grid or generator).
- Multi-stage charging (bulk, absorption, float) for optimal battery health.
- Adjustable charging current to suit different battery capacities.
- Protection Features:
- Overload protection: Shuts down to prevent damage from excessive power draw.
- Over-temperature protection: Protects the inverter from overheating.
- Low battery voltage shutdown: Prevents excessive battery discharge.
- Short circuit protection: Safeguards against short circuits in the connected load.
- Reverse polarity protection: Protects the inverter if the battery is connected incorrectly (often via a fuse).
- Transfer Switch (Often Included): Some models have an automatic transfer switch that allows seamless switching between AC power (grid) and battery power. This is crucial for backup power applications.
- Display and Indicators: LED indicators or an LCD screen to show battery voltage, output power, fault conditions, etc.
- Cooling Fan: Internal fan to regulate temperature during operation.
Applications:
A 2.4kVA pure sine-wave inverter with charger is suitable for a wide range of applications:
