A "DC to AC" power inverter electronically converts DC power from a car
battery to 60 hertz AC power at 120 volts like in your home. These inverters
have standard household AC grounded power outlets.
The models we currently offer all require 12 volt input.
The 150 Watt model plugs directly into a car cigarette lighter.
The 325 Watt inverter comes with both cigarette lighter cable, and alligator
clip cables for connection direct to a battery. The Cigarette lighter cable
is for use up to about 150 Watts. If you need more power than that, you
must use the other cable that are included to connect directly to the battery.
The 600 and 1500 watt models may be hard wired directly to a battery,
or attached with included jumper cables.
The 3000 Watt model must be wired directly to a battery.
Please note: A typical cigarette lighter socket
in a car has a 10-15 amp fuse, therefore the most amount of power you will
be able to use through a cigarette lighter socket will be in the 120-180
watt range. Power demands above that range must be via direct connection
to the battery.
All our Sima Brand inverters feature "Smooth Start Technology", or
SST.
Some appliances, like TVs, require a high power demand on start-up.
Sima power inverters are equipped with Smooth Start Technology to smoothly
bring up the AC power. This circuitry also activates under excessive loads,
even short circuits, to quickly turn off power to protect the device and
the inverter. The STP inverter then automatically attempts to smoothly
bring up the AC power.

The larger inverter models rate their output power
differently than one would expect.
As an example, the 1000 Watt model is actually
specified as 800 Watts Continuous, and 2000 Watts Peak, with a rating of
1,000 watts output for 20 minutes.
