Description  

Samlex SAM-1000-12 - 1000W Modified Sine Wave Power Inverter, 12V

A work van has no room for a fussy inverter, and the SAM-1000-12 was built accordingly. Mount it by the battery bank, wire a switch to its remote-control port, and 1000 watts of AC is available at the flick of that switch from the driver's seat. Samlex rates it for -13 to 122 degrees F, which covers an uninsulated cargo bay in January and a closed van in July. Order online, or request a written fleet quote in 24 to 48 hours.

Warranty

Warranty coverage. Samlex America stands behind the SAM-1000-12 for 2 years; the complete terms accompany every written quote.

Built for Permanent Installs

Remote-control port
Tuck the inverter next to the batteries and switch it from the cab with the optional SAM-RC remote. The 800 watt model below it has no port at all.
Weather-grade rating
Operates from -13 to 122 degrees F, with output derated only above 104 degrees F, so a van interior in summer does not sideline it.
2000 watt start-up window
Compressors, pumps and saws get one second at double rated power to spin up before the overload latch intervenes.
  • Two NEMA 5-15R outlets - 120 VAC, 60 Hz output.
  • M9 nut-and-bolt DC terminals with four 30 amp internal fuses (120 A total).
  • Layered shutdowns: low-voltage alarm and cutoff, high-voltage, over-temperature with auto-reset, latching overload and ground-fault protection.
  • ETL listed; soft start and low-interference circuitry.

Where This Inverter Is Used

  • Service and utility vehicles - test equipment and chargers powered from the chassis batteries.
  • Mobile offices - monitors, routers and printers at a remote job trailer.
  • Off-grid cabins and solar setups - everyday AC from a 12 V battery bank.
  • Telecom sites - maintenance power where no grid outlet exists.
Tools on the job site? Step up to the SAM-1500-12 → 50 percent more continuous power and a 3000 watt surge window, in the same remote-ready format.

Ordering

Match the waveform to the load before you order. Adapter-fed electronics, lighting and resistive appliances run happily on modified sine. Audio gear that hums, sensitive lab instruments and anything medical should go pure sine instead. Ask us if unsure; fleet quantities get a written quote in 24 to 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the 2-year coverage on the SAM-1000-12 include?

It is a Samlex America manufacturer warranty running 2 years from purchase. We send the complete written terms alongside any quote so you can read them before spending a dollar.

How do I switch it on remotely?

Wire the optional Samlex SAM-RC remote to the port on the front panel. That lets the inverter live beside the battery bank, where the DC cable run is shortest, while the on/off control sits at the dash or door.

How long will a 100Ah battery run it at full load?

At the full 1000 watts the inverter draws about 100 amps, so a 100Ah deep-cycle battery gives roughly half an hour before it reaches 50 percent discharge. Lighter loads stretch that fast: a 250 watt load draws about 25 amps and runs closer to two hours on the same battery.

What does this model add over the SAM-800-12?

The remote-control port, 200 extra continuous watts, and a far wider temperature rating (-13 to 122 degrees F versus full output only to 77 degrees F). It gives up the USB charging port, which only the 800 watt and smaller models carry.

The remote-ready workhorse of the SAM line.
