The GBC Inverter INV3-12-300-C takes a 12V DC source — such as a car battery — and converts it to 220–240V AC at 300W nominal (600W peak), using a modified sine waveform. It is suited to powering computers, laptops, tablets, MP3/MP4 players, TVs, DVDs, and CD players when mains power is unavailable.

Input is via crocodile clips (10–15 Vdc range); output is via a single Schuko socket. SoftStart technology reduces inrush current stress on connected devices. An on/off switch, one cooling fan, and an IP20-rated aluminium housing complete the package.

Key Features

• Modified sine waveform output at 220–240 Vac, 50/60Hz ±0.5Hz
• SoftStart technology reduces startup surge on connected devices
• USB output port for charging mobile devices simultaneously
• Crocodile clip input for direct connection to a vehicle or standalone battery
• Built-in low-battery alarm (10.5–11.5 Vdc) and undervoltage shutdown (9.5–10.5 Vdc)

Product Benefits

• 300W nominal / 600W peak capacity handles computers, TVs, and portable media players away from the mains
• Overvoltage shutdown at 15.5 Vdc protects connected equipment from battery surges
• Maximum efficiency of 0.9 keeps energy waste low during conversion
• 1× 30A fuse provides circuit protection for the input wiring
• Aluminium housing dissipates heat effectively and keeps the unit lightweight at 0.96 Kg
