Overview
The Samlex America PST-3000-12 is a 12v 3000-watt pure sine wave power inverter. The PST-3000-12 takes 12 VDC and inverts it to produce 120 VAC. This allows you to run household devices off 12v battery power.
The Samlex PST-3000-12 has a high 6000-watt surge draw rating and a continuous output rating of 3000 watts! It features a Dual GFCI-protected outlet and a Terminal Block for hardwiring.
Samlex PST-3000-12 is a high-efficiency Pure Sine Wave DC to AC power inverter that can be used in many different applications. The clean power delivered by Samlex's PST Series Inverters is of the same quality and efficiency as the power provided by your utility company, which is not the case with the cheaper and more popular big box stores that carry modified sine inverters.
The Samlex PST-3000-12 is a 12-volt PST series inverter with a wide DC operating range of 10.7 to 16.5 volts. This makes the PST-3000-12 compatible with high-voltage DC charging, such as solar and equalization charging. Because of the heavy-duty chassis, the PST-3000-12 can cool itself via convection, which allows for less fan runtime, leading to longer fan life and less no-load draw.
We highly recommend the use of Pure Sine Wave Inverters to power Computers and related peripheral devices; i.e. printers, optical drives, laser copiers, and if in doubt check with the manufacturer of your equipment.Other devices that benefit when Pure Sine Wave power is used are variable speed control motors using solid state circuitry, Audio Amplifiers, Digital Clocks and Radios, Medical Equipment, Microwaves, etc.
PLEASE NOTE: Many electrical devices require a good deal more Watts to start or energize than is required run once started. For instance an electric motor may require only 800 watts to run but may need 2300 watts to start. Please check with the manufacturer of your equipment to obtain minimum watts for starting operation of the equipment or device.
