The 3000 Watt 12 volt dc to 120 volt ac power inverter with 20 amp charger and automatic transfer switch is the perfect system you use with your back up emergency equipment of 24.25 amp or less. This type of wattage will cover most sump pumps and a large range of heating and cooling systems. By connecting this inverter directly to a 12 volt battery system and then plugging the ac charger cord to any home outlet your home UPS in now ready for use. The system will detect a loss of utility power and then switch directly to battery backup power. When utility power is available the charger will bulk charge the batteries until fully charge then go into a float mode. This unit also includes a digital monitoring system that displays battery voltage and wattage load applied.
The inverter attaches directly to a 12v DC battery supply. It has the ability to power on medium-high load devices. It has durable reinforced panels on the interior which allows for the unit to be used in vehicles as well as home use. Designed with the best quality components inside, all high grade resistors/transistors.
Some applications that it can be used for are: incandescent lighting, tvs, small appliances (fridges,freezers steroes, fans etc..) power tools (drills,saws etc..), pumps, kettles, pots, small heaters, microwaves, heaters, medium air conditioner units
This newly designed heavy duty inverter is made to with stand movement and vibrations commonly experienced in mobile settings. With the addition of reinforced steel bars holding all the interior components in place, this heavy duty inverter is ideal for all mobile applications. Also included newly designed Automatic Transfer switch, which turns this inverter to the ultimate home backup power supply. Plug house hold devices in the inverter and when the house power is cut the battery power will transfer over automatically.

my husband & i bought last week the 3000W inverter/charger to back up our 1/2HP sump pump. we installed it on the weekend and with advice given by Richard @ Royal Power we tested it. after 7 hours (!!) of a simulated power outage, the voltage had only dropped 1 volt before we aborted the test and plugged the inverter back into the outlet. the inverter then recharged our batteries (we hooked 2 in parallel). so far we are extremely happy & hope that the inverter has a long life span. either way, this concept has passed with flying colours the initial test.

You can leave it plugged in all the time.

Do you leave the sump pump plugged into the inverter always? Or should I plug into the wall until the weather gets bad?

You can leave it plugged in all the time

Hello, I recently bought the 3000w inverter for our sump pump back up and was wondering if we need to ground the inverter to anything or can we just connect the battery to the inverter fresh out of the box and proceed with the setup shown here?

I guess when you plug in your inverter to the GFCI 3 prong outlet you’re grounding it.

hi - i saw in another video where they say when batteries are in parallet you would connect red of battery #1 to the inverted and black of battery #3 to inverter. in your picture you show red and black from battery # 3 going to inverter?

[@Royal_Power_Inverters]

#3 or #1 would be the same result.
