This range is particularly suitable for sensitive equipment such as DVD players, laptops, AV equipment etc, as these are particularly vulnerable to voltage spikes and are more prone to interference from lesser inverters.

There are then the modified sine wave inverters which Weacos says are more suited to appliances with higher power consumption, such as power tools, microwave ovens, etc.

The advantage of selected models in this range is the ability to hardwire the inverter into the boat's wiring system so that the shorepower circuit can be powered off the inverter.

At the other end of the spectrum is the entry-level Mobitronic Pocket Power range - pictured here - that offers stable 230v 50Hz output in a flexible and very portable format, but still at a competitive market price.

All Mobitronic inverters offer overload, short circuit and overheating protection and conveniently switch off the inverter when the supply voltage drops below 10v (12v systems) and 20v (24v systems). This feature safeguards a battery that is dual use for starting the engine. On the modified and pure sine wave models they also feature an acoustic alarm for when voltage drops below 11v as a warning.
