Pure Sine Wave Inverters

What does an inverter do?

IVT pure sine wave inverters reliably and precisely convert a 12 V or 24 V DC voltage into a true sine wave AC voltage of 230 V/50 Hz at the output. The pure sine wave ensures that even sensitive loads can be operated safely and without interference. IVT Hirschau’s sine wave inverters are robust, lightweight, maintenance-free and, compared to emergency generators, operate silently and odourlessly.

IVT’s stand-alone inverters are used in a wide range of mobile and stationary applications, including tradesmen’s and service vehicles, long-distance transport and construction machinery, in emergency vehicles for the fire service, police, THW or rescue dog units – also in combination with solar power – in motorhomes and allotments, in agriculture and fish farming, as well as in development aid projects.

How to find your inverter

+
Calculating the output power
To determine which inverter model you need, simply add up the outputs (W or VA) of your required  electrical consumers. However, you should bear in mind that certain loads require larger power reserves (5 to 10 times) due to their increased starting current. If you are not sure which inverter is right for you, simply contact us. We will be happy to advise you and help you choose the right inverter and accessories.

1) Due to the high current flow, only use conductors to the battery with a minimum cross section of 50 mm2 for the 12 V versions of the DSW-2000 and DSW-2000-Synchron.

2) If the DSW-2000 is not sufficient, or if you may require even more power in the future, we recommend using the DSW-2000 Synchron. This version can be interconnected to a second DSW-2000-Synchron device to achieve a continuous capacity of 4000 W.

3) Only suitable for the 24 V version.

Important: Cross-section of the connection cable
For safety reasons, we recommend that you always use a sufficiently dimensioned original connection cable. The original IVT connection cables are optimally matched to the inverter series and are additionally protected with a 200 A fuse. You will find the appropriate connection cables on the respective product page.
 
Our recommendation: Installing a second battery
Using a second battery is particularly reasonable when an inverter is used in a vehicle. If the second battery is discharged, the engine can still be started reliably using the vehicle's starter battery.

A battery system consisting of two batteries and a second battery charger is also a useful addition in conjunction with a solar island system. This is a simple and cost-effective way of ensuring the energy supply for particularly important consumers at all times.

Socket outlet standards and mains voltages – the most important information at a glance
In Europe, plug types C (Euro plug) and F (Schuko plug®) are widely used. The voltage range is between 220 - 240 V/50 Hz. The flat Euro plug generally also fits in other European countries, although an adapter is sometimes required for the Schuko plug®.

Areas of application IVT inverters

The use of inverters in trade and service

Your job is our job
Work has to be done quickly: Repairs have to be carried out urgently, often without a fixed power connection, in the middle of the road, in the field or in an open area. The cold chain must also not be interrupted when transporting perishable foods, medical products or certain chemicals.

IVT's Digital Sine Wave Inverters are often the most user-friendly and time-saving solution for supplying power while travelling, e.g. in tradesmen's vehicles, municipal vehicles, service vehicles, mobile sales stands, market stalls, food trucks and much more.

The use of inverters in commercial vehicles

Always on the move
When you're almost living in your bus or truck on long journeys, you want to have the things available that make your life at home more comfortable and enjoyable.
 
With the IVT sine wave inverters, you can operate all your electrical appliances at the highest safety level with a true 230 V sine wave voltage. IVT inverters are suitable for permanent installation in coaches, lorries, snow groomers, boats and much more.

Use of inverters in emergency and rescue situations

No time to lose
When every second counts in critical situations, good visibility at the scene of an emergency is essential. Lighting systems, waste water pumps and other electronic devices must be ready for immediate use.

The safe and reliable IVT inverters are installed in many emergency vehicles of fire brigades, rescue services, police, customs, aid organisations, civil defence and disaster control organisations, rescue dog teams and many more.

The alternative to permanently installed inverters:
Individually configurable power stations 600 W – 2000 W

Portable power boxes offer a genuine alternative to permanently installed inverters. These self-contained plug-and-play solutions require no wiring and do not need to be connected to the vehicle’s electrical system. Depending on the model, they can power appliances with a continuous output of 600 to a maximum of 2000 watts.

Power can be drawn via 230 V, 12 V and 2 x 5 V USB output sockets. The high-quality 12 V lithium battery is extremely flexible and can be recharged in a variety of ways – either via solar power, in the vehicle or from a 230 V mains supply.
 
Choose one of our pre-configured complete solutions or, with the help of our technicians, put together your own customised power station to suit your needs. On request, individual components of the existing power boxes can be replaced (inverter, battery), omitted (charging booster, solar controller) or added (connections, etc.).

The use of inverters in recreational applications

Flexible and independent at sea and on land
If you need a reliable 230 V power supply when travelling, then you should opt for an IVT inverter. Thanks to its true sine wave output voltage, it supplies sensitive electrical appliances just as reliably and trouble-free as at home, e.g. when camping, caravanning, in motorhomes, boats, on off-road excursions and much more.
 
In combination with a small 12 V or 24 V off-grid solar system, you can generate your own self-sufficient electricity and utilise it again when required. Many of our customers also use the option of charging the starter and on-board battery while travelling with the help of a permanently installed charging booster or secondary battery charger.

The use of inverters in agriculture, forestry and pond farming

Self-sufficient and versatile
Whether you are looking for a self-sufficient solution to illuminate your stables or operate automatic feeders and pumps independently of the power grid – an IVT off-grid inverter is always the first choice.
 
Thanks to their robust design and high-quality workmanship, IVT inverters always guarantee a reliable supply of genuine 230 V sine wave voltage, for example when transporting fish or operating shearing machines, a pasture fence and much more.
 

The use of inverters in stationary hobby and leisure applications

Generating electricity with solar or wind power
Do you want to supply yourself with self-sufficient electricity, for example in your hunting or forest hut, on a mountain pasture far away from civilisation or in your allotment garden at home? Solar or wind power systems usually generate DC voltage. However, sensitive consumers almost always require a genuine 230 V sine wave alternating voltage.
 
With an IVT sine wave inverter, you can enjoy the convenience you appreciate at home even in remote locations, e.g. operating a refrigerator, an alarm system and much more.
