WHAT IS AN INVERTER?
Inverters are designed for powering household appliances from a battery or vehicle. They are
electronic devices that convert (12V DC) battery power to (230V AC) mains power.
Inverters are compact and often lightweight making them an ideal source of portable mains power.
Thanks to their portability they are commonly used in cars, caravans, motor homes, boats, 4WD’s
and utility vehicles.
Using an inverter with standard household appliances is a much cheaper option than purchasing
specialised 12V appliances for times when power is not available.
These are two different types of inverters, modified sine wave and pure sine wave. The difference
between the two is how close the output replicates mains power.
ed sine wave and pure
sine wave inverters.
Logically it follows that the process used in a pure sine wave inverter is more complex than a
modified sine wave inverter and subsequently they are lot more expensive.
ed sine wave and hence they are
more common.
Pure sine wave inverters are reserved for use on medical equipment and sensitive electrical
appliances.
Inverters are available with different power output levels to suit the type of appliances to be
powered. Small inverters are designed for powering one small low power electrical or electronic
appliance. Larger inverters can be used to power multiple small appliances or one larger appliance.
cient method for running appliances with very high power
requirements such as electric heaters, stoves, kettles and air conditioners. This is due to their
high current draw and battery consumption.

PLACEMENT / LOCATION / MOUNTING OF INVERTER
Caution:
•
•
Batteries should be mounted in a separate well-vented enclosure.
•
For vehicle or camping use the inverter must be protected from rain, water or moisture.
Projecta inverters are designed for indoor, out of weather use only. For best performance the
inverter must be used or mounted in a cool, dry, clean and well-ventilated area.
For best TV / Radio reception keep inverter as far away from TV’s, radios, antenna cables and
antennas as possible.
All models are supplied with mounting brackets. If used in mobile applications such as 4WD,
Caravan, Motor home or boat the inverter should be mounted to a suitable horizontal or vertical
panel, with at least 50cm clearance from the rear panel of the inverter to provide good ventilation
for the cooling fan.
SUITABLE
POWER SOURCE:
In order to operate the inverter and supply power to an appliance a suitable 12V DC power supply is
required. This can be a vehicle or caravan battery, portable power pack or an independent 12V lead
acid battery. For most applications, a deep cycle battery is recommended for best performance.
The size of the battery used will determine how long the inverter will supply power to an appliance
and how well the inverter will perform. Most batteries are marked with their size in Amp hours (Ah)
or Cold Cranking Amps (CCA).
Because 12 Volt inverters are capable of drawing high currents the inverter should only be
connected to a suitable size battery. Connection to an undersized battery could damage the battery
and will result in the inverter shutting down within a short period due to low battery voltage.
The amount of power drawn from the battery is proportional to the inverter load.

CONNECTION TO POWER SOURCE & EARTHING
Caution:
•
Even though the inverter is powered from a battery, it still produces Dangerous High Voltage
AC power and has the potential to fatally injure if incorrectly installed or used.
•
Before making any connections ensure inverter is switched off and has no AC appliances
plugged into the AC output sockets.
•
Ensure vehicle / system is a negative earthed or negative ground system only.
•
Double check battery negative and positive posts before making any connection, a wrong
connection (Reverse polarity) will cause the fuse/s to blow and may damage the inverter.
•
when the inverter has not been used for some time. This spark is caused by the inverter’s large
capacitors charging quickly. To minimise this, make the last connection quickly and completely.
•
•
Batteries can be dangerous, follow all battery manufacturer’s instructions and warnings.
•
Projecta inverters are designed FOR INDEPENDENT USE ONLY. That is, they cannot be
connected to household wiring whether the building is connected to the electricity grid or not.
•
Never operate the inverter without the DC negative input connected direct to the battery and
never install a fuse, circuit breaker or battery switch in the negative supply line.
P/No. IMW300, IMW600, IMW1000 & IMW2000
These inverters can be connected to a power source on a temporary basis with the supplied
DC leads (see the section Temporary Connection) or hard wired for a permanent installation
with suitably sized cable and hardware for your application (see the section Hard Wired
Connection). Regardless of which connection method is used it may be advantageous to earth
the inverter case, see the section on External Earthing for more details.

TEMPORARY CONNECTION:
•
Connect the ring terminal on the negative lead (Black) to the negative (Black) DC terminal on
the back of the inverter.
•
Connect the battery clip (Black) or ring terminal (IMW1000, IMW2000) on the other end of the lead
to the negative DC supply or (-) battery terminal.
•
Connect the ring terminal on the positive lead (Red) to the positive (Red) DC terminal on the
back of the inverter.
•
Connect the battery clip (Red) or ring terminal (IMW1000, IMW2000) on the other end of the lead
to the positive DC supply or (+) battery terminal.

When mounting the inverter in a vehicle, caravan, boat or cabin it may be preferable to use
longer DC battery cables than those supplied, so that the inverter can be placed in a more
convenient, cooler or more protected location.
If longer cables are required only use suitably insulated automotive battery cable according to the
following table (Note: B&S = AWG)

close to the battery.

• It is recommended that a heavy duty battery switch with a current rating higher than the fuse
tted in the DC positive (+) line close to the battery to allow the supply to the
inverter to be switched off, this can also be achieved by using a circuit breaker which has
a trip facility.
• Positive and Negative cables should be run close together to reduce cable inductance, and be
protected from damage by corrugated conduit.

EXTERNAL EARTHING: (OPTIONAL)
Projecta inverters have been internally bonded for safety, by connecting the AC socket/s earth pin to
the inverter case and to the DC negative supply input. Because of this most installations do not
require the inverter to be earthed. However if the inverter is used in a stationary land based
application or if the inverter is causing interference with TV sets or radios it is recommended that an
external earth connection is made by one of the following methods:
.
•
External Earthing Stationary Applications – Connect an earth wire (Preferably solid Green
or Green with Yellow stripe) from the external earth connection (Chassis GND) on the rear of the
inverter to a metal stake or pipe that is driven into the ground at least 1.2m.
•
External Earthing Mobile Applications – Connect an earth wire (Preferably solid Green or Green
with Yellow stripe) from the external earth connection (Chassis GND) on the rear of the inverter to
the chassis of the vehicle or ground wires in a boat.
