1 INTRODUCTION
The VertaMax Power Inverter is a highly reliable product that uses advanced technologies for high
performance and stability. The VertaMax efficiently converts DC power from your vehicle, boat, or directly
from a dedicated 12V DC battery, into 120V AC power that is commonly used in a wide variety of household
AC items, such as computers, mobile phone chargers, radio, TV etc.
The VertaMax works in two stages: During the first stage, the DC to DC converter increases the DC input
voltage from the power source (e.g. 12V battery) to 300VDC. In the second stage, this high voltage DC is
converted into a modified sine wave AC output using advanced power MOSFET transistors or IGBT
technology in a full bridge configuration. The result is excellent overload protection and capacity to operate
different reactive loads.
The Inverter may be used for many different applications including Solar (PV) battery systems, Wind Turbine
battery systems, Recreational Vehicles, Boats, etc.
Please read this manual carefully before installing or using the inverter and keep it for future reference.
