Utilize your vehicle's battery to efficiently power office equipment on the road or power tools at a work site. Continuously supplies up to 3000 watts of 120V AC power to 4 AC GFCI protected outlets from any 12V battery or automotive DC source. Includes a PV remote and 25-ft. (7.62 m) of cable. Heavy-duty, compact metal case design is among the smallest, most rugged inverters available at this power level. Conforms to OSHA 1926.404 (b) (1) (ii)
NOTE: To protect against high current draw that may occur during inverter failure, two fuse links rated at 250a each should be positioned no more than 18" from the PV3000GFCI's battery in each positive line.
Features
Converts DC power into 3000 watts of continuous 120V AC power
15- and 20-amp outlets provide 120V AC power
