Mercury IMS1000-12 12VDC 1000W Inverter + USB 652.006UK - Description
The Mercury IMS1000-12 1000W Inverter provides a reliable, high-efficiency solution for powering standard 230V AC mains equipment directly from a 12V battery or DC power source. Utilizing modified sine wave technology with over 85% operating efficiency, it is an essential power accessory for caravans, commercial vans, campervans, worksites, and home emergency backup systems during electrical blackouts.
Equipped with an intelligent soft-start mechanism, this inverter prevents unexpected shutdowns when powering up equipment with heavy inductive loads. For added convenience, a dedicated front-mounted 1000mA USB port allows direct charging of smartphones, tablets, and portable USB devices without occupying the main AC socket.
Key Features
- High Power Output: Delivers 1000W continuous modified sine wave power from a standard 12V DC input to 230V AC mains.
- High Efficiency: Operates at greater than 85% energy efficiency to maximize battery life and minimize heat loss.
- Soft-Start Technology: Smooth startup profile minimizes cutouts and protects connected appliances from sudden voltage spikes.
- Comprehensive Safety Protection: Built-in safeguards against low/over voltage input, short circuits, overloading, and overheating.
- Integrated USB Port: Features a 5V 1000mA USB outlet for convenient mobile and accessory charging.
- Status Monitoring: Clear LED indicators and audible alerts provide instant diagnostics for normal operation and fault conditions.
- Complete Kit: Comes supplied with a pair of 800mm heavy-duty DC connection leads and a spare blade fuse.
Important Operating Notes
Ensure your connected devices remain comfortably within the inverter's continuous power threshold. For appliances with motor-driven or high-surge inductive loads (such as compressors, power tools, or pumps), choose an inverter rated for at least 3 times the appliance's continuous draw. For sensitive audio/visual gear or precision electronics, a pure sine wave inverter is recommended.
