This car power inverter enables you to power tools and domestic devices – which typically run on AC – with your car's DC battery. The fixed installation DC-AC power inverter simulates an alternating current using a modified sine wave.

The 500 W inverter features straightforward, intuitive operation, with a manual on/off switch and two failure/working indicator lights. It comes in an anodized aluminium case for durability and maximum heat dissipation. There are several options for connecting to the devices you want to power, as the modified sine wave inverter comes with both a USB port and a universal UK/EU output socket.

This RS PRO car power inverter is safe as well as versatile, as it features safeguards against short-circuiting, overheating and overloading. It also has a low-voltage alarm and automatic shut-down. You'll find it used on building sites where mains power is unavailable.
