Mercury 12V Soft Start Modified Sine Wave Inverter 150W

The Mercury 12V Soft Start Modified Sine Wave Inverter is a highly efficient power conversion unit, engineered to provide reliable 230V AC power from a standard 12V battery source. Featuring a modified sine wave output, it is perfectly suited for powering a wide range of mains equipment in mobile or off-grid scenarios, making it an indispensable tool for both recreational and professional use.

With an efficiency rating of over 85%, this inverter maximises the usable power from your battery, ensuring minimal energy is wasted as heat. The integrated soft start function is a crucial feature, as it minimises the risk of inverter shutdown when connecting appliances with large inductive loads, such as power tools or compressors, providing a smoother and more reliable power-up sequence.

Comprehensive protection circuitry is built-in for your peace of mind and the safety of your equipment. This includes low and over-voltage input protection, which safeguards both the inverter and your connected devices from irregular battery voltage. It also features short circuit, overload, and overheat protection, automatically shutting down to prevent damage under fault conditions. A clear LED and audible siren fault indicator quickly alerts you to any operational issues.

For added convenience, the unit includes a built-in 500mA USB socket, ideal for charging phones, tablets, or other USB-powered gadgets directly. It is supplied with a pair of 800mm DC power cables terminated with ring connectors and a spare blade fuse for straightforward installation to your battery.

Please Note: While excellent for general use, modified sine wave inverters are not always suitable for equipment with sensitive induction motors, voltage-sensitive electronics, or high-end audio equipment. A pure sine wave inverter is recommended for these applications. Always verify the inverter's compatibility with the specific appliance you intend to power.
