Comprehensive Protection

The Prowatt 1000 is equipped with numerous protection features to guarantee safe and trouble-free operation:

Low battery alarm Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to 10.7 V or lower.

Low voltage shutdown Automatically shuts the inverter down if the battery voltage drops below 10 V. This feature protects the battery from being completely discharged.

High voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if the input voltage rises to 15 V or more.

Overload shutdown Shuts the unit down automatically if a short circuit occurs or if the loads attached to the inverter exceed the operating limits.

Over temperature shutdown Turns the inverter off if its temperature rises above an acceptable level.

GFCI protection De-energizes the AC circuits and thereby protects the user from electric shock if a ground fault occurs.
