Extralink OPIP-300W Voltage converter

Extralink OPIP-300W pure sine wave voltage converter

The Extralink OPIP-300W voltage converter is a device that converts the output voltage of a battery (direct current, DC) into 230V AC (alternating current). 230V AC is the type of current supplied by utilities to power standard household appliances such as a television, fridge, 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 mains; for example, in a campervan, caravan, boat, allotment or other remote location. Inverters are also ideal for off-grid systems and backup power systems in case of accidental power cuts.

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

The model presented here can generate 300W of continuous power and up to 600W of peak power (the peak reserve capacity is useful if more power is needed to run the unit than for continuous operation).

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