The Go Power! 200 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Brings Clean AC Power to Work Trucks, Fleet Vehicles, Boats and 24V RV Systems
The Go Power! 200 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter (GP-ISW200-24) converts 24 volt DC battery power into pure sine wave AC. It delivers 200 watts continuously, 230 watts for up to 3 minutes and a 250 watt surge for 3 seconds. Two AC outlets sit on the front panel, and a DIP switch sets the output to 100, 110, 115 or 120 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz.
Go Power built it for work trucks, fleet vehicles, boats and 24V RV systems that only need to run a few small devices, such as laptops, phone and camera chargers and small TVs. It is a 24V only model, so check that your battery bank is 24 volts before you order. The 12V version is the GP-ISW200-12.
Go Power! 200 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Features
Pure Sine Wave Output for Sensitive Electronics
The GP-ISW200-24 produces a pure sine wave with total harmonic distortion under 3% at normal load. Go Power describes pure sine wave as the same clean power as a wall outlet, while a modified sine inverter can make sensitive electronics buzz or fail.
91% Efficiency and a Low Powersave Draw
Typical efficiency is 91%. Switch 4 on the front DIP switch turns power saving on, which cuts the draw to under 0.06 A, compared with under 0.4 A at no load with power saving off. The status LED flashes green once every 2 seconds while the inverter is in saving mode.
Selectable Output Voltage and Frequency
Switches 1 and 2 set the output to 100, 110, 115 or 120 VAC (± 5%), and switch 3 selects 50 or 60 Hz. The input accepts 20.0 to 32.0 VDC.
Status LED and Built-In Protection
A single status LED glows solid green in normal operation and uses orange and red patterns with beeps to signal faults. The inverter sounds an under-voltage alarm at 21.0 V, shuts down at 20.0 V and restarts at 25.0 V. It sounds a high-voltage alarm at 31.0 V and also shuts down on high input voltage, overload, a short circuit and overheating. A fuse protects the input against reverse polarity.
Ready for a Wired Remote
The front rocker switch has ON, OFF and REMOTE positions, and an RJ-11 remote port sits on the back panel. Go Power pairs this inverter with its optional GP-SWR-A remote, so you can switch it on and off from the cab or helm.
Compact, Fan-Cooled Housing
The housing measures 5.91 x 2.68 x 7.36 inches and weighs 3.5 pounds. A fan controlled by temperature and load keeps it cool, and the inverter is rated to operate from -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C). Go Power gives it an MTBF rating of 130,000 hours.
Real-World Applications
Work trucks and fleet vehicles. Keep laptops, phones and camera chargers running on a 24V truck system.
Boats. Power small electronics from a 24V house bank, with the inverter mounted in a dry compartment.
24V RV systems. Run a small TV or charge devices without moving up to a larger inverter.
Practical Comparison
GP-ISW200-24 Versus a Modified Sine Inverter
A modified sine inverter puts out a stepped approximation of AC. Go Power says that is fine for tools and lights but can make sensitive electronics buzz or fail. The GP-ISW200-24 puts out a true sine wave for laptops, chargers and TVs.
GP-ISW200-24 Versus the GP-ISW200-12
Both share the same 200 watt rating, 250 watt surge and housing. The 12V model accepts 10.0 to 16.0 VDC with 89% typical efficiency and under 0.5 A at no load. This 24V model accepts 20.0 to 32.0 VDC with 91% typical efficiency and under 0.4 A at no load. Choose the one that matches your battery bank, because the voltage is not switchable.
GP-ISW200-24 Versus the GP-ISW400-24
The GP-ISW400-24 shares this housing and doubles the rating to 400 watts with an 800 watt surge, at 89% typical efficiency. If your loads stay under 200 watts, the GP-ISW200-24 covers them at a higher 91% efficiency.
Buyer Guidance
Plan the Cable, Fuse and Disconnect
Go Power recommends #10 AWG copper cable and a 30 A inline Class T fuse or circuit breaker for the GP-ISW200-24. Place the fuse as close to the positive battery terminal as possible, ideally within 18 inches, and keep the combined cable length to 10 feet or less. DC overcurrent protection is not included, and every install needs a battery disconnect. A circuit breaker can serve as both. Go Power pairs this inverter with its GP-DC-KIT1 install kit. Check polarity before you connect, because reversed cables can damage the inverter and void the warranty.
Mounting and Ventilation
Install it indoors or in a dry compartment, away from rain, snow and other fluids. Mount it close to the batteries but not in the same compartment, and never directly above them. Leave at least 4 inches of clearance around the vents. Mount it horizontally, base down, base up or on a wall, but never vertically. Go Power suggests a spot where the air stays between -20°C and 40°C.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your truck, boat or RV runs a 24V battery bank
- Your AC loads stay at 200 watts or less
- You power laptops, chargers or a small TV
- You want a low powersave draw on a work vehicle
Common Questions
What Can a 200 Watt Inverter Run?
Anything whose running watts stay under 200 and whose startup surge stays under 250 watts. Go Power lists laptops, phone and camera chargers and small TVs.
How Much Battery Current Does It Draw?
Go Power estimates about 9 A from a 24V bank at the full 200 watt load. Keep the inverter close to the batteries and use the recommended cable gauge.
Can I Use It With Medical Equipment?
No. Go Power states that this inverter is not intended for use with life support equipment or other medical equipment or devices.
Which Remote Works With It?
Go Power lists the GP-SWR-A. Plug it into the RJ-11 remote port and set the inverter's main switch to REMOTE.
What Warranty Does It Carry?
Go Power warrants it for 2 years against defects in materials and workmanship.
