Vancouver’s Xantrex Technology has launched new sine-wave products designed for commercial and utility vehicles — the Freedom SW inverter/charger and the PROwatt SW inverter for both OEM and aftermarket application.

The "affordable" Freedom SW line offers utility-grade, sine-wave power to operate sensitive electronics and appliances. The "easy to operate" Freedom SW 2000 has a high surge rating to complement its power-factor-corrected 100-amp multi-stage charger. It includes remote on/off functionality and has both 12V lock-in and adjustable low-voltage alternating current (AC) disconnect features. The "high performance" Freedom SW 3000 offers advanced configuration options for customized performance, operating within a wide temperature range with high surge capability to start inductive motor loads. It has dual AC input and output and is compatible with the Xantrex Automatic Generator Start. The Freedom SW Series is approved to strict UL458 standards.

The "value priced" PROwatt SW line is said to offer an affordable alternative to modified sine-wave inverters. When used with the optional remote control panel, it features ignition lockout to prevent battery drain when the alternator is not providing power. The SW series is available in 600-, 1000- and 2000-watt 12-volt models for North America. International models are available too.

“The release of these new products furthers our commitment to revitalize our product line for the commercial and utility vehicle market.” says Richard Gaudet, Xantrex Mobile Division General Manager. “Our product development teams have designed these innovative, new sine-wave products to satisfy the requirements of partners.”

Xantrex has also expanded the Truecharge2 line-up of battery chargers with a new 60-amp model.
