Aims Power 1200W Pure Sine with Transfer Switch - Hardwire UL Listed - PWRIX120012SUL

Aims Power 1200W Pure Sine with Transfer Switch - Hardwire UL Listed - PWRIX120012SUL

1200 Pure Sine Inverter with Transfer Switch - ETL Certified to conform to UL 458 standards. This inverter is ideal for built-in RV refrigerators or other appliances. Easy to install. The inverter will switch between shore power and battery power without any extra wires. Many RV'ers and mobile businesses like to use residential size refrigerators and this is the perfect solution. Smaller microwaves and coffee pots are also common uses for this inverter.

One of the standards of UL 458 is that all AC inverters pass a High Voltage Dielectric Withstand Test, commonly called the Hi-Pot Test. The voltage applied to the control is usually equal to 1,000 volts, plus two times the line voltage rating of the inverter. Therefore, the standard hi-pot voltage for 115 VAC inverter is 1,250 VAC. For 230 VAC or dual voltage inverters, the hi-pot voltage is 1,500 VAC. This Aims power inverter is hi-pot tested before it leaves the factory, with a UL Certified hi-pot tested, set to the voltages shown above.

Maintenance Tips

• Keep the inverter in a dry, well-ventilated area and ensure cooling vents remain free of dust and debris.
• Inspect battery cables, hardwire connections, and terminal blocks regularly for corrosion, looseness, or damage.
• Verify battery voltage stays within the recommended operating range to prevent low-voltage or over-voltage shutdowns.
• Clean the unit periodically with a dry cloth and avoid exposure to moisture, chemicals, or excessive vibration.
• Check that the cooling fan operates properly and remove any obstructions that could restrict airflow.
• Test the automatic transfer switch function periodically to ensure seamless switching between shore power and battery power.
• Monitor for warning indicators, unusual noises, or overheating and address issues promptly.
