DC to AC Power Inverter for 1500 Watt Heater

Hi, I am setting up a dc to ac power inverter for my ice fishing cabin. Last fishing season we were freezing, several friends of mine started using a power inverter with a 12 volt battery to run an electric heater. I’m interested in the 3000 watt 24 Volt Royal Power Inverter, will it power my 1500 watt heater ? Thanks Ken

The 3000 Watt 24 Volt Royal Power inverter should be able to run a 1500 watt heater. The only thing that is important to keep in mind is if the heater is 1500 watt continuous or peak. This dc to ac power inverter will run anything with a peak watt of 3000 or less, usually when it comes to electronics that contain a heating element the listed watt is almost the peak. I do recommend checking with the manufacture or reading the manual of the heater just to make sure it is not peaking over 3000 watts. Many people when selecting their power inverter will often confused the listed wattage with the peak wattage. Remember when a power inverter has a continuous wattage listed at 3000 watts and you electronics peak and run several seconds above that wattage the power inverter will always go into alarm mode. The alarm mode is obviously a feature that is included into the inverter for the user protection, that last thing you ever want to be is overload and electronic and have all the interior components burn out. There are ways of testing peak draws by using a multi-meter and testing a the draw during use. If you have not yet purchased your heater and want to make sure the system with work flawlessly then consult the maker of the heater, the same would applied for any electronic being run with your dc to ac power inverter. Please also make sure that you set up the right size battery bank for the power inverter to run your electric heater for the period of time you require, if you intend on running the 1500 watt heater on a high level for the entire day you will need multiple 24 volt batteries. All the information posted above will also work with the 3000 watt 12 volt dc to ac power inverter as well, just make sure before using which ever power inverter the battery bank is properly aligned in parallel retaining its constant voltage at 12 or 24 volts.
