Progressive Dynamics PD1610A 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter

Add clean AC power to your RV or commercial vehicle with the Progressive Dynamics PD1610A 1000 Watt Pure Sine Wave Inverter. Combining true pure sine wave output with a built-in 20-amp transfer switch, this unit seamlessly switches between inverter power and external shore power with no interruptions — and UL/CSA certification for safety you can count on.

True Pure Sine Wave — Same Quality as the Grid

The PD1610A produces true pure sine wave AC output, which is the same quality and waveform as utility power. That matters: cheaper modified sine wave inverters cause issues with sensitive electronics, motors, CPAP machines, microwaves, and modern appliances. With pure sine, everything runs the way it's designed to — quietly, cleanly, without buzzing or interference.

Built-In Transfer Switch — Seamless Power Switching

One of the PD1610A's standout features: an integrated 20-amp transfer switch (95–135 VAC). When external shore power is connected, the switch passes that power through to your AC loads. When shore power drops, the system automatically switches to inverter operation — seamlessly, with no power interruption. Your AC loads keep running without you doing anything. That integrated switching eliminates the need for a separate transfer switch box and the wiring complexity that goes with it.

1,000W Continuous, 2,000W Surge

The PD1610A is rated for:

• 1,000W continuous pure sine wave output
• 2,000W peak surge capacity
• >90% optimum efficiency

That surge headroom handles the high inrush current of motor- and compressor-driven loads (microwaves, blenders, power tools) that would trip lesser inverters.

UL & CSA Certified — Built for Safe Installation

The PD1610A is UL certified in both the US (UL 458) and Canada (CSA C22.2 No. 107.1) — robustly designed with safety and protection features specifically for installation in recreational and commercial vehicles. That dual-country certification means you can install with confidence regardless of where your rig is registered.

Smart Convenience Features

Several features make the PD1610A easier to live with day-to-day:

• Auto-restart after power interrupt — 20A capability, no breaker required
• Remote control included — monitor and control the inverter from a convenient location
• Variable-speed thermally controlled fan — quiet operation at low loads, ramps up only when needed (engages above 500W loads)
• Easy AC hardwire hookup
• DC lug connections for clean, reliable battery wiring

Built-In Protections

Standard protections include:

• Reverse battery protection
• Thermal protection via variable-speed cooling fan

Need More Power?

If 1,000W isn't enough for your loads, the Progressive Dynamics PD1620A 2000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter with Transfer Switch is the larger sibling — twice the continuous power (2,000W) and surge (4,000W), with a 30A transfer switch instead of 20A, for running heavier appliances like microwaves and hair dryers.
