Vector 1200 Watt Power Inverter

This Vector compact 1200 watt power inverter is a great portable option for powering appliances, tools, or electronics away from your home. This compact, portable inverter offers 1200 watts of continuous power with a peak usage of 2400 watts.

The Vector Maxx SST Series Inverters are the most advanced DC to AC inverters available. They are configured with the latest Soft Start Technology (SST). Before the introduction of Soft Start, high startup currents from large inductive loads could shut down the inverter. Soft Start improves inverter operation. Three major features incorporated in SST include:

Gradual voltage ramp-up during inverter startup. This eliminates failed cold starts underload.

utput that momentarily dips in voltage and quickly recovers to allow large motorized loads to start. This eliminates almost all shutdowns from momentary overloads.

Automatic re-starts. The inverter automatically re-starts when an overload that causes inverter shutdown is removed. Previously, manual reset was required.

This power inverter also incorporates a new cooling technology that more efficiently cools the power transistors, and combined with Soft Start, dramatically increases reliability and the life of the product.

Please note this inverter requires VEC085 cables or similar other models to attach to car battery.

1200 Watt Power Inverter 4 5 1 1

Perfect Addition to Pickup Truck The inverter is great. I use it in my truck to run tools at work. The only problem is the cables had to be ordered extra, and they were incomplete for the job. June 12, 2008

Question & Answer

Top of Page

Buyer's Guide:

How big of an inverter will you need?

First you will have to determine the total wattage of the devices you want to operate. Check the nameplate or manual of your device. Once you know that, find an inverter that supplies at least that wattage constantly. An inverter has two ratings, a constant and peak rating. For example a 400w inverter will supply a constant supply of up to 400 watts but will deliver a peak of 800 watts. The peak voltage can't be sustained very long but it will allow extra power to start an electric motor or compressor.

If you know the amps of a device and need to convert that to watts, use this formula: Amps x Volts = Watts. For example, a 3 amp motor running on 110 volts AC would convert to 330 watts. You would need an inverter that supplies at least 330 watts constantly. Be sure to allow a slight variance just to be sure.
