Rich Solar NOVA SWITCH 2K 2000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter With Built-in Transfer Switch

The Rich Solar NOVA SWITCH 2K 2000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter With Built-in Transfer Switch Moves Your RV Between Shore and Battery Power Automatically

The Rich Solar NOVA SWITCH 2K 2000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter With Built-in Transfer Switch (RS-V2P12TS), formerly called the NOVA 2K12, converts 12V battery power into 2,000W of continuous pure sine wave AC power with 4,000W of surge for 5 seconds. When shore power or a generator is connected, its built-in transfer switch passes that power through to your loads, and it switches back to inverter power in under 20 ms when the AC source drops out.

The NOVA SWITCH 2K works with 12V deep-cycle and lithium batteries with a BMS, offers selectable 108V, 110V or 120V output at 50Hz or 60Hz, and can turn on and off with the vehicle's ignition. It is certified to UL 458 and FCC Part 15, and it is built for RVs, campers, trailers, vans and boats.

Rich Solar NOVA SWITCH 2K 2000W 12V Pure Sine Wave Inverter With Built-in Transfer Switch Features

2,000W Pure Sine Wave Output

The inverter delivers 2,000W continuous, or 16.7A at 120V, with 4,000W of surge for 5 seconds. Total harmonic distortion under 5% gives clean, stable power for sensitive electronics and household appliances, and peak efficiency is 91%.

Built-In Automatic Transfer Switch

A transfer relay rated at 30A switches automatically between shore power and inverter power in under 20 ms. The AC input accepts utility power or a generator at 120V nominal, with full power across an 80V to 140V AC range.

Configurable AC Output

Select 108V, 110V or 120V output and 50Hz or 60Hz frequency to match your equipment. Input frequency is also selectable between 50Hz and 60Hz.

Ignition and Remote Control

Wire the inverter to the vehicle's ignition circuit so it turns on and off automatically with the engine, or use a manual remote switch.

Adjustable Low-Voltage Shutdown and Protection

Set the low-voltage shutdown anywhere from 10.5V to 12.8V to suit lead-acid or lithium batteries. Overload, short-circuit and over-temperature protection are built in.

Wide Operating Range and Communication

The NOVA SWITCH 2K is rated to operate from -40°F to 160°F at 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity, and it offers RS232 and RS485 communication ports.

Real-World Applications

RVs and travel trailers. Run the microwave, TV and outlets from the battery while boondocking, and switch to shore power automatically at the campground.

Camper vans. Let the inverter start with the ignition and power AC loads on the road.

Generator backup. Pass generator power to your loads when it runs and fall back to battery power when it stops.

Boats. Switch between dock power and the house battery without changing plugs.

Work trucks. Power tools and chargers from the battery with automatic ignition control.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus the Rich Solar NOVA PURE 2K. The NOVA PURE 2K is a stand-alone inverter with outlets and a remote. The NOVA SWITCH 2K adds a built-in transfer switch, ignition control, selectable output voltage and frequency, and RS232/RS485 ports.

Versus an inverter with a separate transfer switch. A separate transfer switch adds another box and more wiring. The NOVA SWITCH 2K builds it in.

Versus the NOVA SWITCH 3K. The 3K version provides 3,000W continuous and 6,000W surge for heavier loads.

Is This Inverter the Right Fit

• Battery current. Rich Solar lists 192A of DC input current at full load. Use battery cables, fusing and a BMS sized for that current.
• Battery voltage. This is a 12V inverter, with a DC operating range up to 18V.
• Charging. Rich Solar does not list a battery charger in this inverter. Pair it with a converter, solar or DC-DC charger to recharge the battery.
• Space. The inverter measures 14.8 x 12.0 x 4.1 inches and weighs 15.9 pounds.

This may be a good fit if

• You want automatic switching between shore power and battery power
• You run up to 2,000W of AC loads from a 12V battery
• You want the inverter to follow your vehicle's ignition
• You need UL 458 certification for an RV or van install

Common Questions

Is the NOVA SWITCH 2K the Same as the NOVA 2K12?

Yes. Rich Solar now sells the RS-V2P12TS under the NOVA SWITCH 2K name.

How Fast Is the Transfer?

Under 20 ms, which helps keep connected equipment running when shore power is lost.

Does It Charge My Battery on Shore Power?

Rich Solar does not list a charger for this model. Use a separate converter or battery charger, such as the Rich Solar 100 Amp Power Converter.

Does It Work With Lithium Batteries?

Yes. It is compatible with 12V deep-cycle and lithium (BMS) batteries, and the low-voltage shutdown is adjustable from 10.5V to 12.8V.
