Description  

Samlex PST-1500-12 - 1500W Pure Sine Wave Power Inverter, 12V, Hardwire + GFCI

Most vehicles never load an inverter past 1500 watts; paying for capacity you will not touch is just weight and money. The Samlex PST-1500-12 is a 1500 watt power inverter in the same commercial chassis as its 2000 and 3000 watt siblings, with the same dual personality: hardwire terminal block for the fixed circuit, GFCI duplex outlet for the corded gear. From a 12 volt bank it delivers 120VAC pure sine power with 3000 watts of momentary surge for motor starts.

Warranty

Warranty. Samlex America warrants the PST-1500-12 for 3 years. Full terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.

Right-Sized, Not Stripped Down

Full-size construction
Same enclosure, cooling and connection layout as the 2000 watt model; only the rating changes. Nothing about the build says entry level.
Double surge, briefly
3000 watts is available for under 8 milliseconds of startup, the window where drills, pumps and compressors ask for the most.
Hardwire-ready
The terminal block turns this from a plug-in gadget into part of the vehicle's electrical system, with the GFCI duplex still free for cords.
  • Pure sine wave output, under 3% THD, 120 VAC held within 3 percent.
  • Universal Protection Circuit covering voltage extremes, overload, short circuit, over-temperature and outlet ground faults.
  • Remote input switches the inverter from the ignition or a dash contact; RC-300 LCD remote sold separately.
  • ETL listed to UL 458 and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1; FCC Part 15(B) Class B.

Where This Inverter Is Used

  • Service and utility vehicles - one saw or compressor at a time, plus the chargers that never stop.
  • Mobile offices - workstation, printer and network gear on wall-quality power.
  • Boats and campers - galley appliances and electronics from the house battery.
  • Backup and solar systems - a hardwired AC leg for a modest 12 volt bank.

Ordering

Kit it out once. The DC-2500-KIT 300A installation kit covers cable, lugs and the battery-end fuse; the RC-300 remote adds cab control. Both can ride the same order. Volume buyers: a written quote lands in 24 to 48 hours once we have quantity and ZIP.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the PST-1500-12 over the PST-2000-12?

Price, mostly. The two share the same chassis, weight and hardwire-plus-GFCI output layout, so if your steady loads finish under 1500 watts the smaller model does identical work for less money. If the load list is creeping toward 1500, the 2000 costs nothing extra in space.

What does 1500 watts actually cover?

A 1200 watt circular saw running alone. A 900 watt coffee maker with a laptop and job-site lights beside it. Most single appliances and tool loads, one or two at a time, with the 3000 watt surge rating absorbing the starting spike of motors.

How does hardwiring work on this inverter?

A terminal block with 4 mm set-screw terminals sits beside the GFCI duplex, ready to feed a small distribution panel or a Samlex STS-30 transfer switch. Follow the manual's neutral and grounding scheme, and keep the combined load inside 12.5 amps.

How much does it pull from the battery?

Up to 200 amps at full output, protected by five internal 40 amp fuses, and under 1 amp sitting idle. Budget conductor size for the run length per the manual, and tell us your bank if you want the math checked before ordering.
