Projecta IMW2000
2000W 12V Modified Sine Wave Inverter
Modified Sine Wave
The Projecta IMW2000 converts 12V DC battery power into 230V AC, 50Hz output for running compatible 240V appliances away from mains power. This model provides 2000W continuous, 4000W peak and uses Modified sine wave output.
Always confirm the appliance power requirement, start-up surge, battery capacity, cable size and installation requirements before use.

General appliances that are compatible with modified sine wave AC output.
Camping, touring, trade and vehicle-based use where the load is within the inverter rating.
Not recommended for sensitive electronics, medical equipment, some battery chargers, dimmers, some power tools or appliances that require pure sine wave power.
Use only a suitable 12V DC battery system.
Battery capacity guidance: Minimum 100Ah, ideal 84–400Ah.
Ensure the battery is fully charged and in good condition before operating high loads.
High-power appliances draw very high DC current. Undersized batteries, cables or fuses can cause voltage drop, shutdown or battery damage.
Runtime guidance: Approx. 30 minutes at 2000W on a 100Ah battery; approx. 10 hours at 100W on a 100Ah battery.
Install the unit in a dry, cool and well-ventilated location.
Keep ventilation openings clear and do not mount the unit where heat can build up.
Install the correct fuse or circuit breaker as close as practical to the battery positive terminal.
Use the cable size and installation method specified in the instruction manual.
Check polarity carefully before connecting the DC cables.
Make sure all connected appliances are switched off before turning the inverter on.
Turn the inverter on and allow it to start normally.
Connect or switch on appliances one at a time.
Do not exceed the continuous output rating or peak surge capability.
If a fault occurs, switch the unit off, remove the load, correct the cause and restart the unit.
Confirm the battery voltage is within the correct operating range for the inverter.
Check the positive and negative DC connections for correct polarity and tight connections.
Check the inline fuse or circuit breaker near the battery.
Confirm the battery has enough capacity and charge to support the connected load.
Inspect for voltage drop caused by long cable runs or undersized cable.
The connected appliance may exceed the continuous output rating or peak surge rating.
The battery voltage may be dropping under load.
The DC cable may be too small, too long, or poorly connected.
Some appliances with motors, compressors, pumps or power supplies may not operate correctly on modified sine wave output.
Modified sine wave inverters are suitable for many general appliances, but they may not suit sensitive electronics, medical equipment, dimmers, some chargers, or some power tools.
For sensitive or critical equipment, use a Projecta pure sine wave inverter instead.
Yes. The cooling fan is temperature-controlled and operates when required.
Read the instruction manual before installation or use.
Use the inverter in a dry, cool and well-ventilated location protected from rain, water, dust and excessive heat.
Do not install the inverter in the same compartment as batteries or flammable materials.
Always use correctly sized DC cables, fuses and secure connections.
Do not connect the AC output to fixed building wiring, mains wiring, or another inverter output unless the manual specifically allows the installation and it is completed by a licensed electrician.
High AC voltage is present during operation. Do not open or service the unit unless qualified.
Reverse polarity connection can damage the inverter and may not be covered under warranty.
The Projecta IMW2000 is listed with a 12 months warranty under normal use. Warranty does not cover damage caused by incorrect installation, reverse polarity, misuse, modification, overload, water ingress, physical damage or failure to follow the product instructions.
If the issue continues after completing the troubleshooting steps, stop using the inverter and contact Projecta support.
