Xantrex PROwatt SW600 True Sine Wave Inverter

The Xantrex PROwatt SW600 delivers 540W continuous of true sine wave AC from 12V, with 1200W surge, dual GFCI outlets and a USB port.

Five hundred and forty watts continuous from a model named 600 follows the same pattern as the rest of the PROwatt range. Every unit in the line is rated roughly 10 percent below its model number, so the specification rather than the name is what the load list has to fit.

Twelve hundred watts of surge is more than double the continuous rating, which is generous at this size. That headroom is what allows a small compressor or a variable-speed tool to start, and it is where cheaper small inverters fail.

Dual GFCI outlets provide protected connections and a built-in USB port powers phones and small electronics. The digital display shows DC input voltage, output power and error codes, with an optional remote switch offering ignition lockout and protection covering low voltage, over-voltage, overload, over-temperature and GFCI.
