AIMS Power 5000 Watt 12 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Inverter Kit With Fuse, Cables, Volt Meter and Remote Wire

The AIMS Power 5000 Watt 12 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Inverter Kit Puts 5000 Watts of Clean AC Power, GFCI Outlets and a Hardwire Terminal Block on Your 12V Battery Bank

The AIMS Power 5000 Watt 12 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Inverter Kit pairs AIMS's industrial grade PWRIG500012 pure sine inverter with an ANL fuse kit, a set of 4/0 AWG battery cables, a DC volt meter that works as a battery monitor and a remote wire for an optional toggle switch. The inverter turns 12V DC into 120V AC with 5000 watts of continuous power, a 10,000 watt surge rating and 42 AC amps.

It's built for people who need serious power from a 12V battery bank, such as large appliances, several devices at once and critical equipment. AIMS lists it for work trucks, off-grid systems and backup power. The cables are precision cut and professionally crimped, so the heavy DC wiring is ready when the inverter arrives.

AIMS Power 5000 Watt 12 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Inverter Kit Features

5000 Watts Continuous With a 10,000 Watt Surge

The inverter delivers 5000 watts continuously and is rated for a 10,000 watt surge. AIMS says sizing the inverter to the surge rating of your load is crucial, so the high surge rating gives you room for loads that pull more at start-up.

DSP-Controlled Pure Sine Output

A digital signal processor (DSP) driver controls the AC and DC functions and produces pure sine 120V AC with less than 3% variation. The inverter adjusts its output as battery voltage rises and falls, keeping a steady 120V AC, and its circuitry suppresses RF noise from the DC to AC conversion.

GFCI Outlets, a Terminal Block and a 60 Amp Breaker

The front panel has two 120V AC 20A GFCI outlets and a 120V AC terminal block for direct connection to equipment or a breaker panel. A 60 amp high speed output circuit breaker protects the inverter from overload and short circuits, and you reset it by hand if it trips.

A Volt Meter to Watch Your Battery

The included DC volt meter is a 12V DC voltage display with a red positive lead and a black negative lead. Its label lists a low voltage alarm at 11.0V, plus or minus 0.5V, and a high voltage alarm at 16.0V, plus or minus 1.0V, so you can keep an eye on battery status while the inverter runs.

Remote Wire for a Toggle Switch of Your Choice

If you want the inverter's on/off switch in a separate location, plug the supplied remote wire into the remote power switch port and connect an open/close toggle switch of your choice.

4/0 AWG Cables and an ANL Fuse Kit

AIMS recommends 4/0 AWG or larger battery cables for this 12V model and strongly recommends an inline fuse, breaker or shut-off switch. The kit covers both with the CBL11FT4/0 cable set and the ANL500KITJ fuse kit.

Real-World Applications

Work trucks. Run large appliances, power tool chargers and several devices at once from a 12V battery bank.

Off-grid systems. Hardwire the inverter into a breaker panel through the terminal block to feed AC circuits.

Backup power. Keep large appliances and critical equipment running from batteries when utility power is out.

Sensitive equipment. AIMS lists electric stoves, testing equipment, audio and video devices, circuit board based equipment, variable speed motors and power tool chargers as common pure sine applications.

Practical Comparison

Complete Kit Versus Buying the Inverter Alone

With the inverter alone, you'd still need 4/0 AWG cables, an inline fuse and a way to monitor battery voltage. This kit includes the cables, the ANL fuse kit and a DC volt meter, along with the remote wire that comes in the inverter's accessory bag.

Pure Sine Inverter Versus a Modified Sine Inverter

AIMS says pure sine power is particularly beneficial for electronics and appliances that operate more efficiently with a pure sine wave inverter. If your loads include motors, chargers or sensitive electronics, pure sine is the type to choose.

Buyer Guidance

Size for Start-Up Demand

Before running heavy motors or appliances, confirm their start-up requirements. AIMS notes these are often 3 to 5 times the continuous rating. Air conditioners and air compressors are examples with high start-up demand, and that start-up current can trip the inverter's protection breaker.

Install It Correctly

Switch off the inverter, its AC breaker and the GFCI, then connect the red and black cables to the inverter first and then to the battery, and never reverse polarity. Set the frequency switch to 60 Hz for U.S. use. AIMS recommends grounding the case with 8 to 10 AWG cable and strongly advises having a professional electrician wire the AC terminal block. Make sure no other power source can feed back into the inverter's outlets, and keep the unit well ventilated. When you power it on, three beeps mean startup was successful.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You have a 12V battery bank sized for heavy loads
• You need up to 5000 watts of pure sine power
• You want GFCI outlets and a hardwire terminal block
• You'd like a volt meter to watch battery voltage

Common Questions

When Does It Shut Down for Battery Voltage?

The 12V model shuts down at 10.2V and recovers at 11.2V. On the high side, it shuts down at 17.2V and recovers at 15.2V. The input range is 10.5 to 16V.

Does the Kit Include a Remote Switch?

It includes a remote wire that plugs into the remote power switch port. You choose and connect the open/close toggle switch.

Can I Set the Output to 50 Hz?

Yes. A frequency switch lets you choose 50 Hz or 60 Hz to match the set frequency of your devices. AIMS says 60 Hz is required in the U.S. market, and the output voltage is 120V AC at either setting.

How Big and Heavy Is the Inverter?

The inverter measures 8.9 x 6.2 x 21.3 inches and weighs 26.0 lbs.

What Warranty Does It Have?

The inverter manual gives a full 2 year warranty from the date of purchase.
