KickAss 12V to 240V Pure Sine Wave 3000W Inverter Feature Overview

3000W Continuous Output

Plenty of power to run all your AC essentials while on the move—induction cooktops, coffee machines, battery chargers for your power tools, and more!

Pure Sine Waveform

Delivers a clean and reliable sine wave output that replicates the AC signal you get from a home power point. Unlike modified sine wave inverters that don't produce a true sine wave, the KickAss Pure Sine Wave Inverter is ideal for running sensitive electronic devices like laptops, Starlink, and CPAP machines.

AC Automatic Transfer Switch

Simplify your off-grid installation with the Automatic Transfer Switch. Power your AC devices from your batteries, then once you’re back on-grid, simply plug in the AC input cable to switch over to mains power. If the mains supply cuts out, the inverter will seamlessly switch back to battery power.

Multiple Protective Features

Multi-level safety protection utilises both software and hardware features to protect you, your inverter, and your devices. The inverter continuously monitors operation and will trigger protection mode if an unsafe condition is detected. Integrated Residual Current Devices (RCD) and Circuit Breakers (CB) provide additional hardware protection, making the inverter suitable for commercial environments.

Optional Remote Control Display (Not Included in Base Version)

The optional remote display allows you to monitor and manage power usage wherever needed. The low-profile screen is discreet and can be flush-mounted into any panel—for example, near your camp kitchen. The remote also features an integrated on/off switch to conserve battery power.

Note: Only compatible with the blue KickAss remote inverter screen.

Surge Power – Reaches 6000W in 2 Seconds

With a peak surge rating of 6000W for up to 2 seconds, this inverter is ideal for supporting devices with a high current draw, like power tool battery chargers, microwaves, and induction cooktops.

High 94% Conversion Efficiency

Inefficient inverters waste energy when converting DC to AC. The KickAss 3000W Pure Sine Wave Inverter achieves 94% efficiency, maximising the usable capacity of your battery bank.

Integrated USB Charging Ports

Includes an integrated 5V 2.1A USB port for convenient charging of your small devices directly from the inverter.

Smart Cooling System

The smart fans automatically adjust their speed to keep the inverter cool, increasing efficiency and maintaining optimal power output.

High Quality Circuitry Components

Built using premium quality components and the latest technology, this inverter delivers reliable performance. Even under heavy loads and peak surges up to 4000W, it remains protected against spikes and surges.

Multiple Mounting Options

Four convenient mounting points allow easy installation into your caravan, camper, or canopy 12V power setup.

The KickAss 3000W inverter provides a continuous pure sine wave output of 3000 watts at 240V AC ±5%, with a surge power capacity of 6000 watts for 2 seconds and 3600 watts for 10 seconds. It delivers clean, stable power ideal for sensitive electronics like laptops and appliances. This means you can confidently run a wide range of devices off-grid, knowing the power quality matches your home’s wall outlet.

Yes, the KickAss 3000W inverter includes a 5V USB power output port designed to charge or power devices requiring USB power. This adds versatility, allowing you to conveniently charge smartphones, tablets, or other USB gadgets alongside your 240V AC appliances, making it perfect for adventure or off-grid setups.

Installation requires connecting the inverter to a 12V DC input (10-16V range) with correct polarity and proper grounding, ideally performed by a certified technician or licensed electrician. The inverter features built-in protections like residual current device (RCD) and automatic transfer switch (ATS) for safe operation. Always ensure at least 60mm clearance around the unit for ventilation and use appropriate fuses near the battery.

Absolutely. The inverter supports surge power up to 6000 watts for 2 seconds, which accommodates inductive loads like pumps or compressors that may draw up to ten times their rated power at start-up. Just remember to switch off non-essential appliances when running such equipment to optimise performance and safety.

The inverter incorporates comprehensive protections including voltage alarms, overload, short circuit, earth leakage, reverse polarity protection, and an integrated residual current device (RCD). These features ensure safe, reliable operation and protect both your connected devices and users from electrical hazards, making it a trustworthy power source for off-grid and adventure use.

It uses a smart cooling fan that activates as needed to maintain optimal operating temperature between -15°C and +40°C. This efficient cooling system prevents overheating, ensuring the inverter runs smoothly and reliably even under heavy loads or in warmer environments, extending the lifespan of the unit.

The inverter weighs 7.8kg and measures 470mm long, 220mm wide, and 150mm high including base and terminals. While robust, its compact design and manageable weight make it suitable for portable off-grid power setups, easily fitting into vehicles or campsites without compromising power capacity.

No, the inverter is not designed for life support or other critical medical devices. However, it excels at powering a broad range of sensitive electronics and appliances safely with its pure sine wave output and multiple built-in safety protections, making it ideal for adventure, off-grid living, and general power needs.
