How Do You Install A Power Inverter In A Vehicle?
It is now possible to have AC power in a car, truck, van, or SUV. Power inverters come in a variety of wattage ratings and can be installed with a minimum of tools. The greatest challenge is how best to route the cables and where to place the inverter. Step 1 Read the manual that came with the power inverter for installation instructions. Be sure to check what maximum length of cable is allowed between the inverter and the vehicle battery. Step 2 Determine a location for the power inverter. It should be accessible as needed, yet it should be protected from potential damage physically. The power inverter also needs ample airflow to avoid overheating.
