Safe use of high power inverter

Are power inverters safe to use?

Power inverters are safer than ever before, with features like a cooling fan, overload indicator, and automatic shutdown to help prevent issues. However, failing to read the manufacturer's instructions before use can result in property loss, injury, and even death. Today's power inverters have these safety features to keep you out of trouble.

Which Inverter should I Choose?

For example, devices with motors, like refrigerators or power tools, may have a higher startup power requirement, known as surge power, which can be several times higher than their running wattage. Therefore, choose an inverter with a peak power rating that can handle these surges.

Can a 110 volt power inverter be dangerous?

Safety Warning: 110 Volts of current can be lethal. Improper use of a power inverter will result in property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. Please read and follow carefully the instructions in the Owner's Manual provided with every inverter for important safety considerations and precautions.

How do I know if my inverter is safe?

Consider the inverter's environmental ratings, such as IP (Ingress Protection) codes, which indicate the level of protection against solid and liquid intrusion. Regularly check the enclosure for any damage or wear and replace it if necessary to maintain the integrity of the inverter's protection. 8. Install Safety Devices
