Compact 12V to 120V Inverter

The Tripp Lite PV1000HF converts 12V DC battery power into 120V AC electricity. It delivers 1000W continuous and 2000W peak output from a compact metal case. Four AC outlets let you run office gear or tools directly from a vehicle or standalone battery system. Installation uses the included DC terminals for a direct connection.

Suits mobile workers and job sites

This unit fits drivers, contractors and field technicians who need mains voltage away from grid power. It runs laptops, chargers and small power tools from a 12V source. It is not for appliances that exceed 1000W continuous draw or installations that cannot accommodate a 175A fuse within 18 inches of the battery. Buyers needing integrated battery charging or solar regulation should look elsewhere.

1000W continuous output rating

The continuous 1000W rating determines which combination of devices you can run at once. Peak capacity of 2000W handles brief startup surges only. Match the total load of your connected equipment to the 1000W figure to avoid overload shutdown. Input current reaches 100A at full load, so cabling and fuse sizing must support that draw.

Questions about this item

What size 12 V battery and fuse do I need to run the PV1000HF at its 1000 W continuous rating?

A properly sized 12 V battery that can supply 100 A continuously, plus a 175 A fuse link installed no more than 18 inches from the battery on the positive cable.

Will the inverter draw noticeable power from my vehicle battery when no AC devices are plugged in?

At no load it draws only 1.5 A from the 12 V source, and in shutdown or load-sense mode the draw drops to 100 microamps, so parasitic drain is minimal.

How can I verify the PV1000HF is delivering 120 V AC after I connect it?

Plug a standard 120 V appliance into one of the four AC outlets; if it powers on and runs normally, the inverter is converting 12 V DC to 120 V AC as intended.
