The XPower Inverter 1000 is a compact and lightweight inverter that easily connects to a 12 VDC battery and provides up to 1200 watts of AC power. The XPower Inverter 1000 is ideal for long haul truckers who need to power home appliances, consumer electronic and office equipment on-board their truck.

Beware of 60 +/- 4 Hz frequency specification |
|
Several of the Xantrex inverters including this one have much looser frequency specs compared to the last generation of inverters which were typically 60 Hz +/- 0.01%. Many of the current crop of these inverters have 60 +/-4 Hz which is 60 Hz +/- 7%. To be fair, I've noticed a number of inverters made by other companies also have relaxed this spec. I measured the output frequency of several models and found their outputs to range from 58 Hz to 64 Hz. I didn't test to see if the frequency changed with temperature, input voltage, load, or other other factors. I suppose the reason for this change in specs is that these manufacturers are now cost cutting to the extent of eliminating a 30 cent quartz crystal. The frequency variation is most likely to cause problems (speed changes and overheating) in devices with AC motors, but it will also cause inaccuracies in devices that use the AC line frequency for timing purposes. |

I've seen cheaper prices |
|
I thought this inverter was decently priced for a 1000 watts. I have seen slightly better deals out there since. The inverter works well. It does what its supposed to, and is fairly easy to hook up. The only problem I have with it is, I have a small coffee maker I wanted to use that is rated at 600 watts, and This inverter just does-not have the power to turn it on. It blinks on and off because of the initial start up (surge). It is supposed to cover the surge...but it doesn't. So forget about a small heater as well. Other than that, it runs all small appliances and electronics pretty good. |
