Filtered, Modified Sine Wave Inverter

Xantrex's HI 400 inverter has an output of 400 watts continuous with a surge of 550 watts. Designed for use in recreation and work vehicles, HI 400 takes DC power from a battery and converts it to 115-volt AC power. Its filtered modified sine wave output minimizes interference and distortion while operating sensitive equipment, making it an ideal inverter to power entertainment systems in RVs or sensitive electronics in service vehicles. HI 400 is compact and is designed for easy hardwire installation.

Features

  • 400-watt Continuous Output with 550-watt Surge. HI 400 converts DC power into modified sine wave AC power. With a 400-watt continuous output and 550-watt surge, the unit is ideal for running TVs, stereos, laptop and desktop computers and other sensitive electronics. The inverter provides a well-regulated modified sine wave AC output resulting in low distortion in TV picture reception and audio amplification.
  • Automatic, Built-In Transfer Switch. Each HI 400 is equipped with an AC input cord located on the back of the unit. The cord may be plugged into an AC receptacle powered from an external source. Battery draw is minimized when external power is available by automatically transferring through HI 400 to the load. Appliances like a TV or VCR can be dedicated loads for the HI 400.
  • Ignition Lockout for Enhanced Safety. RVIA (Recreational Vehicle Industries Association) and some states require a TV, in a recreational vehicle, to be 'Off' if in view of the driver when the vehicle is in motion. Connecting the ignition lockout turns the inverter off when 12 volts is applied to the input wire from the ignition. The wire is located in the wiring compartment at the back of the inverter.
  • Optional GFCI Duplex Receptacle. Xantrex offers the HI 400 with an optional duplex AC receptacle. When a ground-fault condition is detected, the circuit is opened. The Reset button on the GFCI will need to be pressed to reset, once the fault condition is cleared.
  • 1 Year Warranty. HI 400 comes with a 1 year warranty.
  • Approved to UL Standards. HI 400 has CSA/NRTL regulatory approval and is approved to UL standards.
