Samlex SAM-1500C-12 Modified Sinewav Inverter Charger

1500W Modified Sine Wave Inverter/Charger - 12V

Expanding on the reliable and affordable SAM Series of Inverters that have been proven in the field for years, Samlex now introduces the first SAM Series Inverter Charger. This all-in-one robust unit integrates a 1500W Modified Sine Wave Inverter, 30A Transfer Switch and a Two Stage 12V, 15 Amp Battery Charger. The transfer switch automatically detects utility or generator power and seamlessly transitions to your battery bank when grid power is unavailable. Also provides safe and rapid charging of 12V battery bank when gird power is available.

Features:

• Integrated 1500W Modified Sine Wave Inverter, 30A Transfer switch, and 2 Stage 12 VDC, 15A Battery Charger
• High efficiency, lightweight, and compact for easy installation
• Separate ON/OFF control for Inverter and Battery Charger for selectable operation as inverter, charger or UPS function
• 4 color LED indicators to monitor operational status
• Load controlled fan for efficient cooling when required
• Allows use of higher capacity external 12V battery bank for longer backup time
• Neutral to Ground Bond Switching Relay for grounding compliance
• Electronic protections including GFCI when in Inverter Mode
• Ideal for RV’s, Trucks and remote housing
