Inverter power switch?

[Ashley Burton]

I've got a 1200W inverter, But it doesn't have a power switch or even a fuse fitted

Any recommendations for a switch suitable for the job?

I get the impression that max amps would be 100amps if my calculations are correct...

Many Thanks

You either want a battery isolator rated to 1.5x the total of the fuses fitted in the inverter (or 2x> if you are going to be switching it loaded.
Or put a couple of anderson connectors on the power feed.

For something easier to use get a durite style solonide and a little switch. You could wire a couple of little switches in if you wanted, one where you use it and one in he the cab for when you forget to switch it off!

@hotponyshoes I think I'm going to go with one of these:

Yea that sort of thing will work fine.
The cheap china ones dont last that many on/off cycles so if you are using it a few times every day spend the £25 on a durite one but if it's only now and again a heap one will do the job, just mount it some where easy to replace if needed.
