Now boaties, campers, caravan owners and 4WD enthusiasts can safely power up TVs, fridges, computers and power tools from their batteries and enjoy better quality use thanks to a new range of hi-tech inverters just released in New Zealand.

The innovative new Projecta Intelli-Wave inverters use the latest pure sine technology to eliminate the annoying static from TV sets, AM radio, Xbox/Playstation/Wii gaming consoles and as well as cutting out the flicker and noise from fluorescent lights - all of which may not even operate using a modified sine wave inverter.

Engineered and designed for conditions in New Zealand and Australia, the new Intelli-Wave inverters produce ultra clean power with exceptional peak performance of 200% capacity for 3 seconds and 140% for 3 minutes, allowing them to effortlessly run demanding appliances.

Designed in accordance with the Australian Standard AS4763 (Int): 2006 - Safety of Portable Inverters, the new Projecta inverters are fully isolated for safety and peace of mind. To ensure complete safe operation, Projecta engineers developed the new inverters with so that they fully electrically isolate the DC and therefore battery posts, vehicle chassis etc., from the 240V AC circuit.

The new Intelli-Wave inverters produce pure sine waves closely replicating mains power output, which is ideal for use with sensitive electronic appliances and medical equipment where a perfect source of power is essential. This advanced technology has a distinct advantage over modified sine wave inverters where an even power source is not possible.

Voltage, temperature and overload protected, the Intelli-Wave inverters are constructed from extruded aluminium with internal circuit boards conformal coated to protect against moisture and the elements. They are dust proof and shock resistant making them suitable for mounting in a range of locations. The extruded aluminium housing provides a robust flange for secure mounting.

An easy-to-read illuminated multi-function LCD screen on the end of each unit provides detailed information including battery voltage (Volts); power usage (Watts) and load capacity, allowing easy monitoring of the inverter’s performance and power supply levels when running important equipment away from mains power.

Included in the pack is also a remote control display that allows for monitoring in situations where the inverter is mounted out of the way and out of sight. This remote, with its LCD screen, displays Watts, Volts, load at the push of a button plus and an on/off button to switch the inverter to standby mode when not being used, reducing the idle current draw to just 2mA.

The new Projecta Intelli-Wave 12V inverters are available in 150, 300, 600 and 1000 Watt models are available from leading automotive accessory outlets throughout New Zealand.
