What are differences between the stand alone, transfer, and inverter/charger models?

Enerdrive offers three ranges of inverters with variety of output capacities. These include:

Stand Alone Inverters

This the most basic range of inverters offered by Enerdrive. The stand alone range of inverters allows users to convert DC electrical power from their batteries into AC 230V mains power for use with household appliances such as microwaves, coffee machines, induction cook tops, and laptop chargers. The stand alone series of inverters produce a true sine wave AC output that is ideal for operating the sensitive electronics found in modern appliances and is available in a range of output capacities from 400w to 2000w. The stand alone inverter series can also be purchased in a ready to go RCD-GPO Inverter Kit that comes pre-wired with a double GPO outlet and Type 'A' RCDBO with M.E.N. protection for safety and compliance.

Inverters with AC Transfer & Safety Switch

Our most popular range of inverters, these AC Transfer models include all of the features found on the stand alone inverters, while also adding a 16A AC Transfer Switch and RCD Safety Switch. The transfer switch allows for AC mains power to be plugged into the inverter and to directly power any connected AC appliances. This is a far more efficient solution than having your equipment run from your inverter while a battery charger provides power to your batteries and inverter. The included RCD safety switch also provides protection for users by monitoring the flow of electricity through the inverter and switching off the output power in the event of a fault. This range of inverters is available in 2000W (12V and 24V) and 2600W (12V only) configurations.

Combis and Inverter/Chargers

The Enerdrive Combi range features an AC charger and inverter combined into a single compact unit. Available in range of sizes from 1600W to 3500W, the Combi Inverter/Charger series includes an AC transfer switch, programmable relays, programmable trigger inputs, and more. The highly customisable nature of this unit means that it pairs well with Enerdrive Pro Series Lithium solutions, though it can also be configured to run with B-TEC batteries.
