The Go Power! 3000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Hardwires Into Your AC Wiring to Run Multiple Appliances From a 24V Battery Bank
The Go Power! 3000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter (model GP-ISW3000-24) converts 24 volt DC battery power into pure sine wave AC. It delivers 3,000 watts continuously and a 6,000 watt surge through a hardwire AC output, so it connects to your AC wiring or panel rather than taking plug-in cords.
Go Power says it can run any tool or appliance within its wattage range, including multiple appliances, TVs, stereos and computers, and suggests it as a source of emergency backup power. Its model chart lists it for large 24 volt loads. It's certified to UL 458 and carries a 2-year Go Power warranty.
Go Power! 3000 Watt 24 Volt Industrial Pure Sine Wave Inverter Features
Hardwire AC Output
The AC end has a hardwire terminal under a cover plate with a cable clamp. For 100 to 120 VAC output, the manual specifies #8 AWG line and neutral wires up to 16 feet and a #8 to #10 ground wire up to 32 feet, with all wiring rated 75 °C or higher.
6,000 Watt Surge for Hard-Starting Loads
The inverter holds 3,000 watts continuously, up to 115% (3,450 VA) for one minute and a 6,000 watt surge for one second. That headroom helps motors and compressors start. A short circuit on the output shuts it down within one second.
Low-Distortion Sine Wave
Harmonic distortion stays under 5% at normal load, so appliances and electronics get a smooth waveform like utility power. Front-panel DIP switches select 100, 110, 115 or 120 VAC and 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum efficiency for the 24 volt model is 91%.
Powersave Mode
Idle draw is 2.0 A or less with no load. Turn on Powersave with DIP switch 4 and it drops below 0.2 A until a load appears, with a front-panel dial to set the wake-up threshold. Loads take about one second to start. The manual says that's fine for steady loads like TVs and stereos but may not suit bread makers, power tools or blenders.
Status, Fault Relay and Protection
Three LEDs report input voltage, output load and fault status, and a 6-port green terminal includes dry relay contacts for an alarm or indicator light. Protection covers input over-voltage, under-voltage and reverse polarity with an internal fuse, plus 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 Display and Control
Set the power switch to REMOTE and add Go Power's ISW Inverter Remote for 24V ISW inverters (GP-ISW-R-24). Go Power says it 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
24 volt fleet and work trucks. Feed the truck's AC circuits so tools and appliances share up to 3,000 watts.
24 volt boats. Supply AC branch circuits from the house bank, with the inverter in a dry compartment.
Emergency backup. Run appliances and electronics from a charged 24 volt bank when other power is out.
Practical Comparison
GP-ISW3000-24 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-ISW3000-24 delivers pure sine power.
GP-ISW3000-24 Versus the GP-ISW2000-24
Go Power's model chart lists the GP-ISW2000-24 at 2,000 watts continuous and 3,500 watts surge with two GFCI outlets, in a 17.45 x 9.76 x 3.27 inch case. The GP-ISW3000-24 adds 1,000 watts and a hardwire output in a 17.40 x 10.04 x 6.22 inch, 18.08 lb case.
GP-ISW3000-24 Versus the GP-ISW3000-12
Both share the 3,000 watt and 6,000 watt ratings in the same case. The 12 volt model runs on 10.5 to 16.5 VDC with 90% maximum efficiency and needs #4/0 AWG cable. This 24 volt model runs on 21 to 33 VDC and needs #2 AWG. The voltage isn't switchable, so match the model to your bank.
Buyer Guidance
Battery, Cable and Fuse
Go Power estimates this inverter draws about 139 A from a 24 V battery at full load, and that a 100 Ah 24 V lithium bank runs it flat-out for roughly 41 minutes. The manual lists #2 AWG copper cable and a 300 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's spec sheet pairs the 24 volt model with the GP-DC-KIT3 install kit, and Go Power advises keeping the DC run short.
AC Wiring and Mounting
The manual calls for GFCI protection on the branch circuits fed by the AC output and lists GFCI models Go Power has tested. Never connect the AC output to shore power or a generator; the manual warns that severe damage may occur and won't be covered by the warranty. Mount the inverter indoors or in a dry compartment with air between -4 °F and 104 °F (-20 °C and 40 °C), at least 4 inches of clearance around the vents and the case horizontal, never vertical. Go Power recommends professional installation, and the manual states the inverter isn't intended for life support or other medical equipment.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- Your truck, boat or RV runs on a 24 volt battery bank
- You want to hardwire the inverter into AC circuits or a panel
- Your loads stay under 3,000 watts running and 6,000 watts at start-up
- You'll have a qualified installer handle the AC and DC wiring
Common Questions
What Can a 3000 Watt Inverter Run?
Anything whose running watts stay under 3,000 and whose start-up surge stays under 6,000 watts. Go Power mentions a microwave, coffee maker and electronics running at once.
Does It Have AC Outlets?
No. It has a hardwire AC output terminal that connects to your AC wiring.
Is There a 12 Volt Version?
Yes, the GP-ISW3000-12. 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-ISW3000-24 for two years against defects in materials and workmanship. The manual says opening or altering the unit voids the warranty.
