ACOPower 3000W Power Inverter

The ACOPower 3000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter Turns 12V Battery Power Into Clean 120V Household Electricity

The ACOPower 3000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter converts DC power from a 12 volt battery bank into 120 volt AC power with a true sine wave output, the same kind of power supplied by the utility grid. It delivers 3,000 watts continuously with 6,000 watts of surge to start motors and compressors, enough to run a microwave, a coffee maker or a small space heater one at a time, along with lights, a TV and chargers.

Because the output is pure sine wave, it runs sensitive electronics, variable speed tools, chargers and appliances with motors without the buzzing, overheating or glitches that modified sine wave inverters can cause. It is a good fit for RVs, vans, boats, cabins, work trucks and home backup systems.

ACOPower 3000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter Features

3,000W Continuous, 6,000W Surge

The inverter supplies 3,000 watts around the clock and briefly doubles that to 6,000 watts when a refrigerator, pump or power tool starts up.

Pure Sine Wave Output

Clean 120VAC output with low harmonic distortion protects electronics and lets motors run cooler and quieter.

Built-In Protection

The inverter shuts down on low battery voltage, high input voltage, overload, output short circuit and over-temperature, then recovers when conditions return to normal. An audible alarm warns of low battery and overload before shutdown.

Active Cooling

High-speed cooling fans keep internal temperatures down under heavy loads, and an independent heat sink design reduces heat in the main case.

Remote Ready

A digital display and LED indicators show status, and a remote input allows on and off control from another location in your RV, boat or cabin.

Real-World Applications

RVs and vans. Run 120V outlets and appliances from your house batteries while boondocking.

Off-grid solar systems. Pair with solar panels, a charge controller and batteries for cabin power.

Work trucks. Power tools and chargers on the job site from an auxiliary battery.

Home backup. Keep a refrigerator, lights and internet equipment running during an outage.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus modified sine wave inverters. Modified sine units cost less but can make motors run hot and cause problems with electronics and some chargers. Pure sine is the safer choice for mixed loads.

Versus the 1,500W model. The 1500W model is smaller, lighter and draws less idle current, which suits lighter loads and smaller battery banks.

Versus inverter chargers. An inverter charger adds a built-in battery charger and transfer switch for shore power. A standalone inverter is simpler and works well when charging comes from solar or an alternator.

Is This Inverter the Right Fit

• Battery bank. 12V lead-acid or lithium, sized for your loads.
• Input current. Up to 300A at full load, so use short, heavy cables and a properly rated fuse or breaker near the battery.
• Loads. Up to 3,000W running at once, with 6,000W of starting surge.
• Location. A dry, ventilated space close to the batteries, protected from rain and spray.

This may be a good fit if

• You need up to 3,000W of 120V AC from a 12V battery bank
• You run electronics or motor-driven appliances
• You are building an RV, van or off-grid solar system
• You want built-in protection and cooling

Common Questions

How Big Should My Battery Bank Be?

At full load the inverter draws about 300A from a 12V battery. For regular heavy use, a lithium bank of 400Ah or more, or a larger lead-acid bank, is a sensible starting point.

Can It Run a Refrigerator?

Most residential and RV refrigerators run well on a pure sine inverter of this size, as long as their starting surge is within 6,000W.

How Much Power Does It Use When Idle?

ACOPower lists a no-load draw of 1100mA. Turn the inverter off when you do not need AC power to save battery.

Should It Be Fused?

Yes. Install a fuse or circuit breaker in the positive cable as close to the battery as practical.
