The Go Power! 2000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Runs a Microwave Plus Electronics From a 24V Fleet, Marine or RV Battery Bank
The Go Power! 2000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter (model GP-ISW2000-24) converts 24 volt DC battery power into pure sine wave AC. It supplies 2,000 watts continuously and a 3,500 watt surge, with a dual GFCI outlet on the front panel.
Go Power positions it for large loads that need clean power, such as several appliances at once along with TVs, stereos and computers, or as a source of emergency backup power. It suits 24 volt fleet, marine and RV systems. It's certified to UL 458 and carries a 2-year Go Power warranty.
Go Power! 2000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Features
Low-Distortion Sine Wave Output
Harmonic distortion stays under 5% at normal load, so electronics and appliances get a smooth waveform like utility power. DIP switches on the front panel set 100, 110, 115 or 120 VAC and 50 or 60 Hz. The 24 volt model reaches 93% maximum efficiency.
Surge Capacity for Motors and Compressors
Beyond 2,000 watts continuous, the inverter handles up to 115% (2,300 VA) for one minute and a 3,500 watt surge for one second. A short circuit on the output shuts it down within one second.
Powersave Mode Under 0.05 A
With no load connected, idle draw is 1.0 A or less. Turn on Powersave with DIP switch 4 and it falls below 0.05 A while the inverter waits for a load, and a front-panel dial sets that wake-up threshold. Loads take about one second to start, which works for steady loads like TVs and stereos. The manual says it may not suit bread makers, power tools or blenders.
Status Lights and Fault Contacts
Three LEDs show input voltage, output load and fault status. The 6-port green terminal on the DC end includes dry relay contacts that switch on a fault, so you can wire in an alarm or a remote indicator light.
24 Volt Protection Settings
An internal fuse and protection circuits guard against input over-voltage, under-voltage and reverse polarity, along with output short circuits, overloads and heat sink over- or under-temperature. The inverter alarms and shuts down at 21 V, restarts at 25 V and shuts down above 33 V. A temperature and load-controlled fan manages heat.
Remote Monitoring and Control
With the power switch set to REMOTE, Go Power's ISW Inverter Remote for 24V ISW inverters (GP-ISW-R-24) gives you on/off, a battery-voltage and output bar graph and fault indicators on a 25 foot cable. The GP-SWR-A push on/off remote with an LED is also listed for this model.
Real-World Applications
Fleet trucks. Run a microwave, chargers and electronics from a 24 volt system.
Marine. Power galley appliances and electronics on a 24 volt boat, with the inverter in a dry compartment.
Emergency backup. Keep electronics running from a charged 24 volt battery bank when other power is out.
Practical Comparison
GP-ISW2000-24 Versus a Modified Sine Inverter
Go Power calls modified sine power a stepped approximation that's fine for tools, lights and resistive loads but can buzz, run hot or damage sensitive electronics and some chargers. The GP-ISW2000-24 delivers pure sine power for all of them.
GP-ISW2000-24 Versus the GP-ISW3000-24
The GP-ISW3000-24 steps up to 3,000 watts continuous and a 6,000 watt surge, but it has a hardwire AC output instead of outlets and a larger 17.40 x 10.04 x 6.22 inch, 18.08 lb case. The GP-ISW2000-24 keeps plug-in GFCI outlets in a 17.45 x 9.76 x 3.27 inch, 11.55 lb case.
GP-ISW2000-24 Versus the GP-ISW2000-12
Both carry the same 2,000 watt and 3,500 watt ratings. The 12 volt model runs on 10.5 to 16.5 VDC and the manual calls for #2/0 AWG cable, while this 24 volt model runs on 21 to 33 VDC and uses #4 AWG. The voltage isn't switchable, so match the model to your bank.
Buyer Guidance
Battery, Cable and Install Kit
Go Power estimates this inverter draws about 93 A from a 24 V battery at full load, and that a 100 Ah 24 V lithium bank runs it flat-out for roughly 62 minutes. Go Power's typical draws include a coffee maker at 600 to 1,000 W, a microwave at 700 to 1,200 W (1,000 to 1,700 W input) and a hair dryer at 1,200 to 1,800 W. The manual lists #4 AWG copper cable and a 200 A inline fuse or circuit breaker for this model, with a combined cable length of no more than 10 feet (3 m) and the fuse ideally within 18 inches of the battery. DC overcurrent protection isn't included, and a battery disconnect switch is required unless a circuit breaker fills that role. Go Power recommends the GP-DC-KIT3 install kit for the 24 volt model.
Mounting
Install it indoors or in a dry compartment with air between -4 °F and 104 °F (-20 °C and 40 °C) and at least 4 inches of clearance around the vents. Keep it close to the batteries but not in their compartment or directly above them, and mount it with the case horizontal, never vertical. Go Power recommends a professional electrician or RV or marine technician for the install. The manual states the inverter isn't intended for life support or other medical equipment.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your fleet vehicle, boat or RV runs on a 24 volt battery bank
- You want a microwave and electronics on inverter power at the same time
- Your loads stay under 2,000 watts running and 3,500 watts at start-up
- You want plug-in GFCI outlets rather than a hardwired output
Common Questions
What Can a 2000 Watt Inverter Run?
Anything whose running watts stay under 2,000 and whose start-up surge stays under 3,500 watts. Go Power mentions a microwave plus electronics, most kitchen appliances one at a time, or power tools.
Which Install Kit Do I Need?
Go Power names the GP-DC-KIT3 for the 24 volt model and describes it as a 200 A kit with #2 AWG cable.
Is There a 12 Volt Version?
Yes, the GP-ISW2000-12. This page is the 24 volt model, so check your battery voltage before you order.
What Warranty Does It Carry?
Go Power warrants the GP-ISW2000-24 for two years against defects in materials and workmanship. The manual says opening or altering the unit voids the warranty.
