Description
Projecta PW600 12V 600W Pro-Wave Pure Sine Wave Inverter
This 600W inverter is loaded with features found on larger models and is suitable for powering lightweight household appliances. Featuring greater starting power than modified sine wave inverters allowing it to start more of your favourite appliances.
There are two different types of inverters, modified sine wave and pure sine wave. The difference between the two is how closely the output replicates mains power. The process used to create the power from a pure sine wave inverter is more complex and therefore they are more costly, however they are best for use on medical equipment and sensitive electrical appliances due to their ultra clean power delivery. They allow you to watch television without static, listen to an AM radio, play your favourite game on an XboxTM, PlaystationTM or WiiTM and run a fluoro, all of which may not operate properly on a modified sine wave inverter.
- Power Rating – is it continuous?
Check the ratings carefully as this rating applies to the continuous amount of power the inverter will produce without the inverter overheating or shutting down. Some manufacturers quote a rating based on as little as 10 minutes operation, while others can’t start under a full load, delivering as little as 70% of the rating. Pro Wave inverters will run at their rating continuously and can start under full load.
- Surge (Peak) Rating – how long is the surge capability?
A high surge is required to start some appliances and once running they may need considerably less power to maintain operation. TVs and refrigerators are examples of items that require only relatively low power once running, but require a high surge to start. Many cheaper inverters will run for 1 ⁄50th of a second not allowing the appliance to start properly. Pro-Wave can run at 120% surge for 8 minutes and 200% for half a second.
- Maximum Operating Temperatur – are they built for Australian conditions?
Is the inverter you are choosing designed to operate in warm climates? Inverters are inevitably going to be used in hot climates, therefore it is vitally important that you can be sure your inverter will not let you down; that it will continue to power your appliances in extreme temperature conditions. For example the outback traveller can often find themselves in daily temperatures starting at 0°C, rising to 45°C.

Q & A
-
Can I run an inverter from AGM or Gel batteries?
The short answer is yes. People have been running 240V inverters from AGM batteries long before lithium was around. But people have traditionally used a lot lower AC current devices when caravan and camping than they do today.
Inverters were never intended to run air conditioners, microwaves , coffee machines and the like.....that is until lithium came into the RV market. For low current devices (under 600W) it is fine to connect an inverter to your AGM battery system. AGM batteries can put out low current for a long period of time. When you need to go near 1000W or more , then you should consider a lithium battery.
You can connect an inverter to AGM batteries but you need a lot larger size batteries than lithium (to cope with the high current). A general rule of thumb for AGM or GEL batteries is a 1000W inverter should be coupled with 2 x 120A batteries and a 2000W inverter will need 3 x 120Ah batteries.
Conversely, some 100Ah lithium batteries (Enerdrive, Invicta) can power a 1000W inverter and some 200Ah lithium batteries (Enerdrive) will power a 2000W inverter.
