1500W 12V INVERTER

Very impressed. Had it for 4 years now in my camper running a Dometic 230V compressor fridge for 8-12 hrs per day for roughly 60 days a year. Also have a 230V plug socket charging my laptop and camera so a fair bit going through it sometimes. I'd say that's unbelievable performance and value. Still working fine now.

This 2kW/4kW peak true sine wave inverter has a very efficient thermal management system such that it will boil a full 3kW kettle from a couple of car batteries with ease. The voltage dropped to 11.5v but the unit compensates well providing you use the heavy duty supplied cables. The current draw was very large upwards of 300 amps. Surprisingly the fans do not come on during this test and the case is barely warm. I have powered the whole house for several hours, fridge, microwave, operating the central heating pumps etc with no issues of noise or overheating so I would say it is a true sine wave, even my solar microinverters would synch with it.Highly recommended.Points to note: the standby mode has a high parasitic drain of 2 amps so best to turn it off completely when not in use. There are no displays on the inverter itself the remote unit is very basic but then you do not really need it, just turn it off at the switch. I use a voltmeter on my battery bank to estimate remaining charge.

I have had a few inverters and this one by far is the most quiet and I find the remote very useful. Decent length of cable to. The build quality of the unit seems substantial and quite heavy, suggesting quality components. time will tell of course but I fully expect this to last. Plugs even fit into it well which sounds daft saying it, but many I have had have very 'sticky' sockets, for want of a better description. I do not have an oscilloscope so can't test to the sine wave quality but the buzz and hum induced in my computer from my old one, is gone. I haven't heard the fan switch on yet but I am using it at only 30-40% capacity, so wouldn't expect the fan to come on. Very little heat is generated which is excellent. I should have done an efficiency and max load test upon arrival but didn't.NOTE: This is my second unit however, the first was sent back as a precautionary measure because it had a strong smell of fried electronics upon opening the box. May have been nothing but the replacement smelt like new gear. No problem with refund either through Amazon. Hope this helps.

Very light use for 2 years on and off running a TV (less than 200W). The inverter was used for a solid 5 hours the weekend and caught fire. It was VERY lucky I was around to catch it.The device over heated catastrophically, the case was too hot to touch by a wide margin whilst tearing the thing out. I now realise I have never heard the fans running but always thought that was due to the low loads. It looks like the internal temperature sensor has never worked. Beware!

The inverter works, which is the most important thing. I can't speak as to the shape of the wave so I can only hope it's a pure sine-wave under all circumstances.The battery plus are of M6 size and the screws to mount the inverter are included.In the package they provide a generous amount of spare fuses (4, to be precise), however the fuses are not accessible from outside the inverter, which must therefore be opened in case the fuse blows. This is very important to know, as it means that should the fuse blow you will need to open the inverter.The device, according to the manual, offers an added protection working on the ground wire: when there's dispersion towards the ground wire, the power is disconnected and the inverter needs to be turned off and on in order to resume working. This is meant to protect a user from electrocution, although it must be said that this kind of protection is very basic and nowhere near an RCD device. I would recommend to pair this device with an RCD device for added protection.My setup is for a solar powered shed, so I will accompany a consumer unit containing the RCD for safety, but there are versions that plug directly into a standard UK power outlet, so you don't need to get as fancy.

been in my campervan for over 18months now and still working great!

Does what it's supposed to do, I put this in out Motorhome for using the microwave and toaster when off grid, it does both no problem

I bought this Novopal 1500w 12v inverter for my van. Installation is simple. And yes it does work well. I use it for many appliances in my van including a HENRY 1200w vacuum cleaner, Drills, 900w grinders... Etc. No issues in about a year of moderate use.My only regret, not buying a more powerful unit. I will eventually put this in my car and a bigger 3000w in the van in future.I will be happy to buy another Novopal inverter.
