Overview

A 3,000-watt, 12-volt inverter with a built-in transfer switch for RVs

The NOVA 3K12, now sold by Rich Solar as the NOVA SWITCH 3K, is a 3,000-watt, 12-volt pure sine wave inverter with a built-in 30A automatic transfer switch. It delivers 6,000W of surge power for 5 seconds, less than 5% total harmonic distortion and up to 91% efficiency.

With shore power or a generator connected, AC passes through; when it drops, loads move to the battery in under 20ms. Output is selectable (108/110/120V, 50/60Hz), the unit can follow the vehicle ignition, and an LCD shows voltage, power and fault codes. It does not charge batteries.

Power

Power conversion

The NOVA 3K12 delivers 3,000W of pure sine wave power with a 6,000W surge for RVs, boats and off-grid applications.

  • Up to 91% peak efficiency
  • Built-in transfer switch changes over in under 20ms
  • Switches between shore power and inverter power automatically

Control

Smart operation

It accepts utility grid or generator power on the AC input and runs loads from a 12V battery when that power is not available.

  • Works with 12V deep-cycle and lithium (BMS) batteries
  • Selectable 108V, 110V or 120V and 50Hz or 60Hz output
  • ON/OFF with the vehicle ignition or a manual remote switch
  • Load Search Mode wakes only for loads over 25W

Protection

Reliable protection

Pure sine wave output with less than 5% THD gives clean, stable power for sensitive electronics and household appliances.

  • Adjustable low-voltage shutdown (10.5V to 12.8V)
  • Overload, short-circuit and over-temperature protection
  • Reverse polarity protection
  • ETL listed to UL 458; FCC Part 15
