Extralink OPIP-500W pure sine wave voltage converter

The Extralink OPIP-500W voltage converter is a device that converts battery output voltage (direct current, DC) to 230V AC (alternating current). 230V AC is the type of current provided by utilities to power standard household appliances such as TV, refrigerator, radio, lighting, or to charge a laptop/mobile phone, etc.

If you already have a charged battery then connecting an inverter will enable you to power household appliances in areas without access to the electric grid; for example, in an RV, caravan, boat, allotment or other remote location. Inverters are also ideal for off-grid systems and backup power systems in case of accidental power outages.

It is a pure sine wave type inverter, which means that the 230 V AC output harmoniously follows a smooth sine wave and is almost identical to the normal electric grid. A pure sine wave is much better than a rectangular wave or a modified sine wave for running equipment.

Advantages of sine wave inverter:

Advantages of sine wave inverter:

• Suitable for a wider range of equipment (for example, equipment with electric motors cannot be powered by modified sine wave inverters)
• It is more efficient compared to modified sine wave inverters.

The presented model can generate 500W of continuous power and up to 1,000W of peak power (peak reserve capacity is useful if more power is needed to run the device than for its continuous operation).

In addition, the inverter has a USB port for powering USB-compatible devices (e.g. cell phones, tablets, laptops, MP3 players, etc.).
