1500W 12V INVERTER

I bought this Novopal 1500w 12v inverter for my van. Installation is simple. And yes it does work well. I use it for many appliances in my van including a HENRY 1200w vacuum cleaner, Drills, 900w grinders... Etc. No issues in about a year of moderate use. My only regret, not buying a more powerful unit. I will eventually put this in my car and a bigger 3000w in the van in future. I will be happy to buy another Novopal inverter.

This inverter is brilliant. I have a fridge, 5w lights and computer charger on my when I switch it on everytime and it handles it no problems. Easy to install and I have had this for 3 months now and travelled through 16 countries. Thanks

This inverter clearly states it has short circuit protection but has not. I conducted testing on 2 of these Novopals and they both failed with one catching fire. The company said the short circuit protection would only protect the device if it was on load at the time of the short circuit? That I think you will find this is BS. I simulated a shot circuit fault in the cable as this is a real life scenario should a cable become trapped or pinched causing a short between positive and negative I.e short circuit then unknowingly been plugged in. The inverter failed and stopped working after making buzzing noises and in one case fire. None if the internal fuses blow so they must just be for show?? I videoed the hole test along side the identical test on a cheap inverter. The cheap one passes with flying colours and tripped out as described in the short circuit protection instruction section of the manual but Novopal failed miserably i’m conflicted with the instructions notion of short circuit protection. The companies only response was that they would change the instructions and I assume this is to indicate that there is no short circuit protection as previously stated??? I don’t know because they didn’t clarify what they were going to change on the instructions however they did not agree to change the feature of short-circuit protection, By this I mean actually applied as a functional piece of technology that protects the unit from Short circuit protection. Buyers beware, Novopal is on the face of it a decent inverter that delivers the power it advertises but if you can’t trust the protection in it or whether or not It’ll catch fire during short-circuit then I would steer clear.

Does what it's supposed to do, I put this in out Motorhome for using the microwave and toaster when off grid, it does both no problem

Excellent product. Quick delivery. Does what it says on the box. Steadily loading up the system to test its capability with increased loading. So far so good. Not been able to get an oscilloscope on the output to confirm how smooth the output wave form is but it seems to be able to power TV, PC and small electronics OK. USB port is a handy thing. Not sure how accurate the remote unit is as it seems to show my battery at 3/4 with a full charge battery at 13.8vdc. Connections are very solid 6mm studs and the cable provided is sized reasonably well for the service at 25mm2. Mounted flat at the moment as cooling is important for reliability and longevity. I will update the review as I get more experience of the unit and its performance.

Very good quality and value for money I found that having the remote control good for turning off to save power in the battery I have used to heat soup ect in a microwave for breakfast/ lunch and it also didn't take a lot of battery power from the system a d I found that it only takes a 20 to 30 minute drive to top up or a good day on solar panel 80 watt

been in my campervan for over 18months now and still working great!

Very light use for 2 years on and off running a TV (less than 200W). The inverter was used for a solid 5 hours the weekend and caught fire. It was VERY lucky I was around to catch it. The device over heated catastrophically, the case was too hot to touch by a wide margin whilst tearing the thing out. I now realise I have never heard the fans running but always thought that was due to the low loads. It looks like the internal temperature sensor has never worked. Beware!

L’inverter purtroppo va spesso in allarme seppure la batteria è ancora ben carica. Inoltre non regge carichi superiori ai 1000w . Peccato, considerando il tempo che ci è voluto ad installarlo.
