When you’re camping, traveling, or working remotely, you often need to power devices that normally run on household electricity. Laptops, coffee makers, microwaves, TVs, or power tools all require 110V AC power, but your vehicle battery only provides 12V DC power.
That’s where an inverter comes in.
An inverter is a device that converts 12V DC power from your vehicle or auxiliary battery into 110V AC power — the same type of electricity you get from standard outlets at home. With an inverter, you can run everyday appliances and tools straight from your vehicle.
HOW DOES AN INVERTER WORK?
Vehicle and trailer batteries produce DC power, but most appliances are designed for AC power. An inverter converts DC into clean, stable AC at the correct voltage and frequency for your devices.
REDARC’s pure sine wave inverters provide high-quality, pure sine wave AC power that’s safe for sensitive electronics such as laptops, medical equipment, and cameras. Unlike modified wave inverters, pure sine wave models ensure smooth, reliable performance without damaging your gear.
WHY DO YOU NEED AN INVERTER?
RUN HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES
An inverter lets you plug in common appliances and electronics, including:
- Coffee makers
- Microwaves
- TVs
- Laptop, phone, and drone chargers
- Power tools
- Small refrigerators
WORK OFF-GRID
For contractors and tradespeople, an inverter provides reliable AC power for tools and lighting directly from your vehicle or trailer.
