Xantrex has announced the release of the Freedom X sine wave inverter line.
Available in 1,000- and 2,000-watt units, with an optional built-in three-stage battery charger (Freedom XC), the new inverters bring more surge power and precise electrical power in a rugged package, designed for the trucking industry, the company says.
According to Mitul Chandrani, senior marketing manager for Xantrex business at Schneider Electric, the new inverters feature 2X surge power for up to two seconds for motor loads.
“That’s a big advancement for high-frequency sine wave inverters, and a welcome sight for truckers who want to use power tools and other initial high-draw devices,” Chandrani says. “Other sine wave inverters might get up to a half-second in surge power, and can’t handle the surge, it will shut down the inverter. Our Freedom X performs when others can’t. It’s best-in-class.”
The Freedom X converts DC power into the “cleanest” AC power available.
“Sine wave is the same power as you get at home, meaning the voltage is consistent without spikes or drops,” Chandrani says. “That makes the Freedom X a great choice when operating sensitive medical machines, such as CPAP, and induction devices such as microwave ovens or appliances that use magnets or transformers.”
While the Xantrex Freedom X works in unison with traditional batteries, it was also designed to work with and recharge Lithium-ion batteries.
