Inverters & Inverter / Chargers
David Prince is credited with first coining the term inverter in 1925 when he published an article in the GE Review (vol.28, no.10, p.676-81) citing “The Inverter”. His article contains nearly all of the important elements required by modern inverters and is the earliest such publication to use that term in his explanation of how an inverter is used to convert direct current into single or polyphase alternating current by inverting a rectifier circuit. Prince was able to demonstrate that the inverted rectifier circuit could accept DC on the input side and produce AC on the output side.
Inverters transform battery DC power to conventional AC mains power. They allow you to operate practically any appliance, anywhere. Inverter / chargersprovide all the functionality of an inverter as well providing battery charging, which makes inverter / chargers essential to stand alone (off grid), RV and remote area solar power systems.
| Industry | Inverters used for |
| Trades & service | Power tools from service vehicles in the field or recharge your cordless ones |

| Geophysical & down hole mapping | Winches, computers, video equipment etc |
| Safety | Refuge chambers, backup & emergency power systems |
| Recreation | Household appliances away from mains power |
| Remote area power systems | Stand alone (Off-Grid) power systems |
| Grid connected solar systems | Solar power for your grid connected building, with or without battery backup |
The knowledge and expertise gained from manufacturing the highly successful range of Magnum Eclipse inverters in the 1990’s has ensured WA Solar Supplies completely understand the importance of correctly selecting not only the inverter but also related items such as the battery, charging sources, cables, fuses etc. This means we can provide the complete solution for your power needs.
WA Solar Supplies stock a wide range of inverter sizes for 12v, 24v & 48v systems, including inverters from 250VA to 5000VA and inverter / chargers from 800VA to 15000VA most with the capability to parallel & configure into 3 phase.
For piece of mind, WA Solar Supplies also offers repair service for some and support for all inverters sold and are warranty and service agents for Victron, Plasmatronics, AERL, Selectronics, Magnum Power & PSA product ranges.
