1 Introduction

The XPower Inverter 3000 Plus has been designed to give you quality power, ease of use, and reliability.

Please take a few moments to read this chapter to familiarize yourself with the main performance features and protection features.

Quality Power

The XPower Inverter 3000 Plus is designed for use in recreational vehicles (RVs), light and heavy duty truck applications, and other in- vehicle applications.

The inverter provides up to 2500 W of continuous power. It is designed to handle loads such as microwaves, refrigerators, freezers, circular saws, and small air compressors.

The inverter’s high surge capability lets you handle many hard-to- start loads, including large TVs, refrigerators, and freezers.

The inverter’s low standby battery demand means you don’t have to worry about excessive drain on your battery if you leave the inverter on for a few days. When the inverter is on but no power is being supplied to a load, the inverter draws less than 600 mA from the battery.

The cooling fan in the inverter is thermally activated and comes on when the inverter becomes warm. The fan turns off automatically after the inverter has cooled.
