The AIMS Power 1200 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Power Inverter With Transfer Switch Keeps Residential RV Refrigerators Running When You Unplug

The AIMS Power 1200 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Power Inverter With Transfer Switch is built for RV owners and mobile professionals who want residential-style appliances without the hassle of manual switching. When shore power is available, it passes that power straight through to your loads. When shore power is lost, it automatically switches to battery power, so your built-in or residential refrigerator, coffee maker, and electronics keep running without interruption. It is ETL certified to UL 458 standards, conformal coated for marine applications, and designed for a secure, hardwired installation.


AIMS Power 1200 Watt 12 Volt Pure Sine Power Inverter Features

Built-In 10 Amp Automatic Transfer Switch for Seamless Changeovers

The integrated transfer switch moves your loads between shore power and battery power automatically, with a typical transfer time of less than 20 milliseconds. Bypass works whether the inverter is on or off, and no extra wiring or manual switching is required.

1200 Watts Continuous and 2400 Watts Surge for Residential-Size Refrigerators

Many RV owners are upgrading to residential refrigerators, and AIMS Power designed this inverter to handle those real-world power demands, along with small microwaves, coffee makers, and sensitive electronics.

Clean Pure Sine Wave Power for Sensitive Appliances

Pure sine wave output provides the clean, stable power that modern electronics and appliances expect, at 120 volts AC and 60 Hz.

ETL Certified to UL 458 and Hi-Pot Tested

The inverter meets UL 458 safety and performance requirements for mobile and RV power systems. Each unit is also Hi-Pot (high voltage dielectric withstand) tested before leaving the factory using UL-certified equipment to verify insulation integrity.

Hardwire Terminal Block, Intelligent Cooling, and Optional Remote

A direct connect terminal block makes for a secure permanent installation. An intelligent thermal fan manages cooling, conformal coating protects against marine environments, and an optional flush-mount remote on/off switch (AIMS Part# REMOTEHF) is available.

Built-In Protections

  • Over voltage shutdown (16V DC ±0.5V)
  • Under voltage alarm (10.3V DC ±0.3V) and shutdown (10V DC ±0.5V)
  • Over temperature protection (150°F ±5°F)

Real-World Applications

RV living. Keep a built-in RV or residential refrigerator cold when you leave the campground pedestal or the power fails.

Mobile businesses. Run small microwaves, coffee makers, and electronics in vans and service vehicles that switch between shore power and batteries.

Boats. Conformal coating makes it a candidate for marine installations with shore power hookups.


How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus a standard plug-in inverter. A basic inverter requires you to move plugs or flip switches when shore power comes and goes. This model handles the changeover automatically.

Versus a full inverter charger. Inverter chargers also recharge your batteries from shore power. This unit focuses on inverting and transfer, so you will need a separate charging source for your batteries.

Versus modified sine wave inverters. Pure sine wave output is better suited for residential refrigerators and sensitive electronics.


Is This Inverter With Transfer Switch the Right Fit

  • Bypass limit. Pass-through is rated at 10 amps. AIMS Power warns not to exceed it, as damage may occur and void the warranty.
  • GFCI circuits. AIMS Power does not recommend using it with a GFCI circuit on the AC input.
  • Installation. Hardwiring is required.
  • Charging. Plan for a separate way to recharge your batteries.

This may be a good fit if

  • You have a residential or built-in RV refrigerator to keep running
  • You want automatic switching between shore and battery power
  • You need an ETL-certified inverter for your RV
  • You already have a battery charging solution

Common Questions

Will It Run a Residential Refrigerator?

AIMS Power designed this inverter with residential-size RV refrigerators in mind. Confirm your refrigerator's running and startup wattage against the 1200 watt continuous and 2400 watt surge ratings.

Does It Charge My Batteries?

No. This model is an inverter with a transfer switch. It does not include a battery charger.

Can I Plug It In?

No. It requires a hardwire connection through the direct connect terminal block.

What Warranty Does It Carry?

AIMS Power backs this inverter with a 2 year warranty and free lifetime technical support.
