This new 10000-watt 12-volt inverter model has all the capabilities of AIMS Power's 8000-watt 12-volt inverter but offers a higher wattage capacity for bigger power demands. Our 10000-Watt 12VDC to 120VAC Modified Sine Power Inverter can run multiple appliances at once. It also offers a reliable, powerful solution for operating a piece of equipment that demands a high-wattage capacity, such as an air conditioner or air compressor. These machines use what's called "locked rotor startup" or "locked rotor amperage." LRA generates a surge that only a very powerful inverter can handle. This AIMS Power DC to AC inverter can get the job done because it can handle 20000 watts of surge for 40 milliseconds. This inverter is perfect for off-grid home backup power or at job sites where higher power demands are common. AIMS Power is always rethinking how inverters can improve so we can provide our customers the best technology available in the industry. The biggest innovation in this inverter is its weight. At a mere 21 pounds, it is unmatched by any other inverter on the market with such a high wattage capacity.
