MS Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Chargers
Power your TVs, stereos, plasma screens and other sensitive electronics without worry. This pure sine wave inverter and power-factor corrected charger provides clean, reliable inverter power with a total harmonic distortion of less than 5%. Flash programming allows easy memory upgrades. The transfer relay shifts power automatically in 16 milliseconds whenever shore power is lost, preventing crashes from damaging sensitive electronics. The inverter/charger keeps its cool, with dual variable-speed brushless cooling fans.
Like other Magnum inverter/chargers, the MS Series includes five-stage smart battery chargers (with Bulk, Absorption, Float, Equalization and Battery Saver—which maintains your batteries in storage without drying them out). Ruggedly marinized for corrosion protection in the salt water environment, the MS Series includes conformal coated circuit boards, an aluminum powdercoated chassis and top and stainless fasteners. MS2012-20B-U model includes dual 20A circuit breaker protection on its outputs.

Comments about MS Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Chargers:
We live full time aboard our Bayliner 4588 Pilothouse. Our old inverter went out and we needed a reliable up to date unit as we rely upon our inverter for our primary support systems. When away from port our refrigeration, electronics and other primary support systems all operate off of the inverter. Therefore we needed a reliable, energy efficient system designed to provide power for today high tech equipment. With today's electronics such as Digital TV's, DVD players and computers, pure Sine wave is critical to ensuring that they will operate properly and last. Even the refrigerator uses printed circuit boards and a computer to monitor its systems. Critical to protecting these appliances is good, clean, consistent electrical power.
Another advantage of the inverter is the full 5 Stage battery charger. The inverter is useless without a reliable DC power source. We have a large bank of batteries that the inverter/charger maintains to ensure we have the DC power source to be converted to AC.
We have been very happy with the Magnum MS Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Charger, its installation process, quality of construction and its performance. You can actually see a difference in the way our electronics perform. One example is our computer power supplies run much cooler, which will surely help to extend their service life.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about MS Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter/Chargers:
Installed just over a year ago and has provided reliable / clean AC power on my boat and I've been VERY happy with it. Much better AMERICAN BUILT inverter than the old Xantrex I had previously. Worth the extra price. Excellent tech support over the phone if you need it as well.
