If there ever there existed a TRUE super inverter, this is it !

Add to its accolades, RV Inverter, Marine Inverter, Work Truck Inverter and now....... US Military Humvee Inverter !

Yes, Outback's legendary design has now proven itself in one of the most harshest environments on the planet, the Iraqi battlefield !

Read what ,Master Gunnery Sergeant Larter of the US Marine Corp. had to say about the performance of Outback's VFX3524M Pure Sine Wave Inverter.

My Explosive Ordnance Disposal (Bomb Squad) unit bought 20 VFX3524M late last year just prior to re-deploying to Iraq and they are performing flawlessly.

Last year during OIF we were using commercial XXXXXXXX* and XXXXXXXX* inverters to recharge batteries and power our equipment, but we had problems with durability. When we got back to the states we researched and dicovered the Outback family of inverters. Robin was kind enough to send out two samples for us to test. He sent a VFX3524M and a FX2024M w/turbo. Both worked great, but we decided on the 3524 due to our power requirements. After a long drawn out battle we received authorization to buy one for each of our vehicles.

After arriving in country and waiting for all of our gear to arrive we were finally able to wire and mount our inverters. We used 25' slave cables to connect to the power receptacle on the HMMWV and then cut a 100' heavy duty extension cord to wire them in with. For the AC-in 25' and the AC-out 75'. Then we plug in a power strip to connect everything. With the 75' cord we can run power out quite a ways and if we need just a little more the slave cable allows us another 25'.

We use them to recharge our robots, computers, power tools and myriad other electronics. So far they have proven extremely reliable and all of my teams swear by them.

 Thanks guys for making something "Marine Proof."

Under this inverter's tough, cast aluminum skin you'll find more muscle than a Schwarzenegger movie and the latest in microprocessor based brains to deliver that raw power with the precision of a perfect sine wave !

The new OutBack VFX series is a ventilated version of our original sealed FX series modular "building block” sine wave inverter/charger that can be used for both small and large power systems. By allowing cooler outside airflow through the internal electronics, more AC power is available and operation in extremely hot environments is improved compared to the sealed FX series. Each OutBack FX or VFX inverter/charger is a complete power conversion system - DC to AC inverter, battery charger and AC transfer switch. Additional FX inverter/chargers can be connected at any time in either parallel (120 VAC), series (120/240 VAC), or three-phase (120Y208 VAC) configurations. This allows a system to be tailored to meet the specific power conversion requirements of the application, both at the time of the installation and in the future. The OutBack VFX series is also available in export versions with 230 VAC, 50 hz output that can be connected in parallel (230 VAC) or in three phase (230Y400 VAC) configurations. Like the FX series, the OutBack VFX is also designed to survive harsh environments around the world. The full screened vent openings are "bug-proof" and the die-cast aluminum chassis protects and keeps the power conversion components cool in very hot environments even when operated at high power for extended periods. The VFX can be used in high ambient applications up to 60oC (with reduced output ratings). The OutBack VFX series inverter/charger system is designed for both residential and commercial stand-alone or back-up power applications with battery energy storage. It is designed to operate as a coordinated system with the other OutBack products i.e. the PSDC, PSAC and PSR enclosures as well as the MX60 MPPT charge controllers and MATE system controller and display.

 


Actual oscilloscope tracing from an Outback pure sine wave inverter with less 2% total harmonic distortion. Notice the smooth rounded transitions from positive to negative, just like your utility company. To your appliances this is like a glass of some smooth easy to swallow energizing drink. 

 


Actual oscilloscope tracing from a typical modified sine wave inverter with 35 to 40% total harmonic distortion. Notice the sharp sudden transitions from positive to negative. This is what causes the high harmonic distortion level. Definitely not like your utility company ! To your appliances this like swallowing a glass of nails. Not to healthy ! In fact this type of waveform can actually shorten the life of many appliances.

All AC appliances and equipment are designed to run off of pure sine waves. Pure sine wave energy is the type of power that is produced by your utility company.

Benefits of running your equipment and appliances on pure sine waves:

 

OutBack VFX2812M And VFX3524M Vented Insect Proof Inverter / Charger system

Pure sine wave output: Much better for you appliances.
Vented design: Means even more power from this tough design.
Cast aluminum casing: Durable design for vibration resistance.
Neutral ground switching: For safer mobile applications
30 Amp AC transfer switch: Powers your appliances while you charge your batteries.
LED status display: Know your inverters status at a glance.
2800 or 3500 VA respectively continuous rating: More than enough power to run most loads.
12 or 24 VDC respectively battery input: The most popular voltages in use today.
120 VAC 60 HZ output: Crystal controlled for precise operation of frequency dependant appliances.
125 or 85 amp respectively DC three stage battery charger: Precise charging of your batteries means longer battery life.
Turbo unit included: Increases inverter output and prolongs the life of the inverter.
Peak surge power 56 or 70 Amps respectively: High surge capacity for those difficult to start loads.
Two wire generator start: Will start and stop many brands of remote start generators.
