The Xantrex Freedom X 3000, MPN 817-3000, is the 3000-watt hardwire model in the Freedom X true sine wave inverter range for RVs, trucks, work vehicles and boats with 12-volt battery systems. Xantrex rates it at 3000 watts continuous at 40 °C (104 °F), with a surge of twice the continuous rating (6000 W) for under 5 seconds to help start motor loads. AC output is selectable at 120, 110 or 108 V AC, at 60 Hz or 50 Hz. The Freedom X is an inverter only. It does not charge batteries, so your system needs a separate charger or inverter/charger for recharging.

A built-in 30 A AC transfer relay senses incoming shore or generator power and transfers connected loads to that source, then back to the inverter when it is removed. AC input and output connect through quick-connect terminals in the wiring bay. Xantrex lists a DC operating range up to 18.0 V DC, 288 A DC nominal current at full load, 91% peak efficiency and at least 85% full-load efficiency. Ignition control lets a 12 V DC signal switch the inverter on and off. The housing measures 15.4 × 10.8 × 4.0 inches without flanges and weighs 16.5 pounds, and it operates from -20 to 60 °C, derated above 40 °C. Xantrex lists ETL certification to CSA 107.1 and UL 458, ABYC E-11 and A-31 compliance, and FCC Part 15 Class B.

At 3000 watts from a 12-volt bank, DC current approaches 300 A. Battery capacity, DC cable size and fusing must be planned from the Freedom X owner's guide. The store listing notes that battery cables and a fuse are not included. A remote panel is optional: Xantrex offers the Freedom X/XC remote panel with 25 ft cable (808-0817-01) and the Bluetooth remote panel (808-0817-02). For a plug-in GFCI outlet, add GFCI option 808-9817, or choose the GFCI built-in model 817-3000-11. Installations that need the UL 458 Marine Supplement listing require drip shield 808-1050.

Installation & Compatibility Guides

Match the Inverter to the Battery System and Loads

The Freedom X 3000 is a 12 V, 3000 W true sine wave inverter with a 30 A transfer relay. Check these six points before you buy.

Freedom X 3000 Inverter or Freedom XC Pro Inverter/Charger?

The Freedom X 3000 is an inverter with a built-in 30 A transfer relay. It converts battery power to 3000 W of true sine wave AC and switches loads to shore or generator power when available, but it does not recharge the batteries. It suits systems that already have a dedicated charger, or installations where charging comes from solar or an alternator.

If you also need shore-power charging, compare the Xantrex Freedom XC Pro 3000, a 3000 W inverter/charger with a 150 A charger. Choose by whether you need inverting only or inverting plus charging, then by continuous output and transfer requirements.
