Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 True Sine Wave Inverter

The Xantrex PROwatt SW2000 delivers 1800W continuous of pure sine wave AC from 12V, with 3000W surge, dual GFCI receptacles and a USB port.

The model number says 2000 but the continuous rating is 1800W, and that is the figure to size the load against. Inverter naming across the industry tends toward the peak or the nominal figure rather than what the unit will actually sustain, and 1800 is what this holds continuously.

Three thousand watts of surge covers difficult startup loads such as variable-speed tools and microwaves. Pure sine wave output is what allows those loads at all, since variable-speed tools and microwave inverters misbehave badly on modified sine power.

Dual GFCI receptacles give protected connections and a built-in USB port powers small devices without occupying an outlet. The digital display shows DC input voltage and output power, an optional remote switch adds ignition lockout, and protection covers low-voltage alarm and shutdown, over-voltage, overload, over-temperature and GFCI.
