BMPRO PowerCore 3K Pure Sine Wave Inverter Charger 12V · 3000W / 100A

Description

The PowerCore3K100 is an inverter charger designed to deliver 240V power to caravans and off-grid setups. Combining a 3000W pure sine wave inverter with a 100A battery charger, it runs household appliances from a 12V house battery system and recharges the batteries when connected to shore power or a generator. In automatic mode, an available AC supply powers the connected loads and charger; when that supply is unavailable, the unit switches to battery-powered inverter operation.

The multi-stage charging system supports lithium (LiFePO4), AGM, GEL and flooded lead-acid batteries, with adjustable charging current. Before first use, select the battery type and charging settings to match the battery's specifications: the factory defaults are GEL and 100A charging.

Built-in RCD protection and safeguards against overload, short circuits and overheating support operation, while the included remote control and display panel allows monitoring and adjustment away from the main unit. The 16A automatic transfer switch has a transfer time of less than 30ms, helping minimise interruptions during changeover.

Allow for a dry indoor installation with ventilation clearance as well as the unit's physical dimensions. AC input and fixed AC output use hardwired connections; a separate AC output socket is also provided. The battery connection requires substantial DC cabling and 400A circuit protection, as detailed below. Never connect shore power or a generator to an AC output: backfeeding can damage the unit and cause a fire.
