Inverters & Voltage Converters

The on-board electrical system of most sailing yachts, motor yachts or professional vessels is DC voltage. For using domestic electrical appliances and tools onboard, it is possible to install a marine inverter, transforming the DC voltage into 230 Volt AC voltage. A pure sine wave inverter produces an output waveform that is the same as a domestic power outlet so that any 230V device can be operated with it. Power converters are available in different power classes, starting with a few watts up to a few kilowatts. A distinction is often made between … Read more

… continuous power and peak power. For electrical appliances, it is recommended to include a safety reserve of 20 to 50%. So if the appliance to be connected is 100 watts continuous power, the voltage converter on the boat should be able to output at least 120 to 150 watts continuous power. A DC-DC converter, also known as a DC-DC battery charger, converts the DC voltage supplied at the input into a DC voltage with a higher, lower or inverted voltage level. For use on a boat, a device could be used to convert 12 volts to 24 volts or vice versa 24 volts to 12 volts. Ask our experts for advice on suitable devices for your purposes.
