Introduction
The XPower Inverter 1500 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 1500 is a quality inverter designed for recreational vehicle (RV) and truck applications.
•The inverter provides up to 1000 watts of continuous power. It is designed to handle loads such as 600 watt microwaves, TVs, VCRs, and midsized power tools.
•The inverter’s high surge capability lets you handle many
•The unit’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 300 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.
Ease of Use
Superior features and rugged durability have been combined with ease of use:
•The unit is compact, light weight, and easy to install.
•Loads can be powered directly from the
Comprehensive Protection
The XPower Inverter 1500 is equipped with numerous protection features to guarantee safe and
Low battery alarm Alerts you if the battery has become discharged to 11.0 V or lower.
Low battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if the battery voltage drops below 10.5 volts. This feature protects the battery from being completely discharged.
High battery voltage shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if the input voltage rises to 15 volts or more.
Overload shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if a short circuit is detected in the circuitry connected to the inverter’s output, or if the loads connected to the inverter exceed the inverter’s operating limits.
Over temperature shutdown Shuts the inverter down automatically if its internal temperature rises above an unacceptable level.
