AZO Digital IPS-400 400W 12V DC to 230V AC Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter with Schuko Socket, Battery Clamps and Cigarette Lighter Plug

The AZO Digital IPS-400 is a 400-watt automotive power inverter that converts 12V DC from a vehicle battery into 230V AC mains power, delivering a modified sine wave output suitable for a wide range of household and mobile electronics. With a peak surge capacity of 800W, it easily handles devices with high start-up demands, making it a reliable companion for road trips, camping, or emergency backup. The inverter features a single Schuko (Type F) socket, active fan cooling, and comprehensive protection circuits, all housed in a rugged aluminum alloy casing.

Advantages

The IPS-400 stands out with its dual input options: heavy-duty battery clamps for full 400W operation and a cigarette lighter plug for convenient low-power use up to 150W. Its high efficiency of over 85% minimizes battery drain, while the built-in low and high voltage shutdown protects both the inverter and your vehicle's electrical system. The compact, lightweight design and integrated cooling fan ensure reliable performance even under continuous load.

Suitable for

• Powering laptops, tablets, and small TVs during travel
• Charging power tool batteries on job sites
• Running camping lights, fans, and portable coolers
• Emergency backup for medical devices like CPAP machines
• Operating small kitchen appliances in RVs or boats

Key specifications

• Continuous power: 400W, peak power: 800W
• Input: 10.5–15.5V DC, output: 230V AC, 50Hz modified sine wave
• One Schuko (Type F) socket, battery clamps and cigarette lighter plug included
• Protection: overload, short circuit, over-temperature, under/over-voltage
• Active fan cooling, aluminum alloy housing, CE and RoHS certified
• Efficiency >85%, no-load current <300mA, operating temperature -10°C to +50°C

Recommendations

For optimal performance, connect the inverter directly to the battery using the supplied clamps when powering loads above 150W. Always ensure the vehicle engine is running during extended use to prevent battery depletion. Avoid using with sensitive electronics that require pure sine wave output, such as certain medical devices or audio equipment.
