Front-panel volt and watt meters, isolated ground neutral, and a UK Type G receptacle — purpose-built for 24V systems in the UK, Europe, Africa, and international mobile or off-grid applications.
The AIMS Power 1250 Watt European Modified Sine Wave Inverter (PUK125024230W) converts 24V DC battery power into 230V AC at 50Hz — the standard voltage and frequency used in the UK, Europe, Africa, and most international markets. A UK Type G 3-prong outlet, front-panel voltmeter and wattmeter, and an isolated ground neutral make this a purpose-configured inverter for 24V off-grid solar systems, mobile vehicles, cabins, and backup power applications outside North America. This unit will not produce 120V AC and is not compatible with US power systems.
The PUK125024230W is purpose-built for international 24V power systems — with the outlet type, voltage, frequency, and monitoring features that UK and European installations require.
Outputs 230V AC at 50Hz — the standard for the UK, Europe, Africa, and most international markets — with a Type G 3-prong outlet that accepts UK plugs directly. No adapters needed for UK or compatible European appliances.
1250 watts of continuous AC output with 3100 watts of peak surge capacity — enough headroom to start motors, small compressors, and appliances with inrush current at startup.
Front-panel volt and watt meters give you live visibility into battery voltage and AC output wattage — so you can track battery state and know exactly how much of the inverter's capacity your connected loads are using.
An isolated ground neutral output is important for safety and compatibility in many international installations and with certain sensitive equipment — particularly in marine, industrial, and professional applications.
At just 5 lbs and 11.25 × 8.25 × 3 inches, the PUK125024230W is compact enough for vehicle compartments, cabinet installs, and space-constrained off-grid builds. It comes pre-wired with an RJ11 port for an optional remote on/off switch, allowing control from a distance without accessing the unit. A pre-slotted mounting plate integrates directly into the aluminum case for permanent wall, floor, or vehicle installation. The dual thermally controlled cooling fans engage only when the unit's temperature warrants, keeping standby operation quiet.

No. The PUK125024230W requires a 24V DC input — its operating voltage range is 20–30V DC. It will not power on from a 12V battery system. If you need a 1250W 230V inverter for a 12V system, see the AIMS Power PUK125012230W (12V input model) instead.
No. This inverter outputs 230V AC at 50Hz — the UK and European standard. US appliances are designed for 120V AC at 60Hz. Connecting US appliances to this inverter will damage or destroy them. For US 120V/60Hz applications, see AIMS Power's standard 120V inverter range.
The front-panel wattmeter displays the total AC output wattage being drawn by your connected loads in real time. This lets you see at a glance how much of the inverter's 1250W capacity is in use and helps you avoid overloading the unit. The voltmeter alongside it shows your battery bank's current DC voltage.
For this model, the manufacturer specifies both the low-voltage alarm and shutdown thresholds at 20V ± 0.5V — meaning the alarm and shutdown occur at approximately the same voltage point rather than in two distinct stages. When battery voltage drops to this level, the inverter will shut down to protect your battery from deep discharge. Monitor the front-panel voltmeter regularly to avoid allowing your 24V battery bank to approach this threshold.
An isolated ground neutral means the AC output's neutral conductor is not bonded to the inverter's DC chassis ground. This is important in marine installations to prevent galvanic corrosion, in multi-inverter systems to avoid ground loop issues, and in certain professional and industrial applications where grounding standards require it. If your installation requires a bonded neutral (as some RCD/GFCI breakers do), consult a qualified electrician about the appropriate bonding approach for your system.
At 1250W continuous, this inverter can run most small household appliances, power tools, and equipment within its wattage limit — including laptops, phone chargers, fans, lights, small televisions, power drills, small pumps, and similar loads. It will not power high-draw appliances like electric kettles, toasters, hair dryers, or microwaves unless those devices fall below 1250W of running load. Always check the running wattage of your appliances before connecting them.
This inverter is covered by a 1-year parts and labor warranty from date of purchase, plus free technical support for the first year. As an authorized AIMS Power dealer, TrueStead Supply ensures your warranty is valid from day one.
