Rectangular aluminium power inverter, two NEMA 5-15R outlets, lugged DC cable included

Tundra

Tundra M1000 Power Inverter 1000W 12V 120VAC

SKU CH-0ZWA-05KAN

Converts 12 V DC to 120 V AC modified sine wave, delivering 1000 W continuous and 2000 W peak through two NEMA 5-15R outlets with 93 percent efficiency

  • Product typeTraffic & Parking Lot
  • 1,000 W continuous power runs appliances from a 12 V source
  • 2,000 W peak capacity handles motor start-up surges
  • 93 % efficiency reduces battery drain during extended use
  • Two NEMA 5-15R outlets power standard AC devices simultaneously
  • Aluminium casing aids heat dissipation for reliable operation

1000 W Modified Sine Wave Inverter

This Tundra M1000 converts 12 V DC to 120 V AC at 60 Hz for mobile or backup power. It suits installers who need a compact unit with two NEMA 5-15R outlets and included lugged DC cables. The aluminium case measures 11 5/8 in deep by 7 1/8 in wide by 3 1/2 in high. Buyers who need pure sine wave output for sensitive medical or audio gear should look elsewhere.

93 % Efficiency Under Continuous Load

At 1 000 W continuous the inverter runs at 93 percent efficiency, so heat rises steadily rather than spiking. The 2 000 W peak rating handles brief motor starts but cannot be sustained. Thermal protection will shut the unit down if ventilation is blocked during extended operation. Systems requiring uninterrupted full-load duty cycles beyond the thermal limit are not supported.

Aluminium Case With Lugged Cable Input

The aluminium chassis doubles as a heatsink and resists vibration in vehicle mounts. Two NEMA 5-15R outlets accept standard North American plugs without adapters. Heavy-gauge lugged DC cables bolt directly to battery terminals for low-resistance connection. Installations that rely on lighter gauge wire or cigarette-lighter plugs will not achieve rated output.

Questions about this item

How much heat and noise does the 1000 W modified sine wave inverter produce when running continuously?

At 93 percent efficiency the aluminium case dissipates waste heat and the internal fan becomes audible under sustained 1000 W load.

What 12 V DC source and cabling are required to operate the M1000 inverter?

A 12 V battery or vehicle system capable of supplying roughly 100 A is needed, and the included lug-terminated DC cable connects directly to that source.

Will the two NEMA 5-15R outlets on this 120 V 60 Hz inverter run older appliances designed for pure sine wave power?

Modified sine wave output works with most resistive loads and simple motors, but some older sensitive electronics or induction motors may overheat or malfunction.
