The Xantrex PROwatt SW 700i, MPN 806-1206-01, is the international version of the PROwatt SW 700. It converts 12-volt DC battery power into true sine wave 230-volt, 50 Hz AC. Xantrex rates it at 700 watts continuous and 1400 watts surge. It is built for vehicles, RVs, work trucks and boats that run 230 V equipment, such as appliances and tools made for European and other 230 V markets. It is not for standard North American 120-volt appliances. Choose the 120 V PROwatt SW models for those. The 700i is a standalone inverter. It does not charge batteries.

AC output is through a Schuko outlet, and the built-in display shows DC voltage, AC output power and error codes. The inverter accepts 10.5 to 15.5 volts DC and produces 230 V AC ±10% at 50 Hz ±0.5 Hz, with 90% optimal efficiency and under 1000 mA of no-load current draw. An audible low-battery alarm sounds at 11 V DC, and the inverter cuts out at 10.5 V DC. The store listing adds overvoltage protection at 15.5 V DC and overload and over-temperature shutdown. Xantrex lists E-mark and CE marking, with the Low Voltage Directive (EN 50178) and EMC Directive (EN 61000-6-1 and EN 61000-6-3). The housing measures 3.5 × 7.3 × 12.2 inches (9.0 × 18.5 × 31.0 cm) and weighs 5.9 pounds, and Xantrex lists a two-year warranty.

The DC connection is hardwired to the battery. Take DC cable size and over-current protection from the PROwatt SW International owner's guide. Xantrex lists the Remote On/Off Switch, part 808-9001, as an optional accessory, along with a 50-foot remote cable, part 31-6262-00. When used with the remote, ignition lockout switches off the inverter output when the vehicle ignition is off. Confirm that every device you plan to run is rated for 230 V, 50 Hz and fits a Schuko plug.

PROwatt SW 700i or the 120 V PROwatt SW 600?

The PROwatt SW 700i (806-1206-01) and the PROwatt SW 600 (806-1206) look alike but are built for different electrical systems. The 700i produces 230 V AC at 50 Hz through a Schuko outlet and is rated at 700 W continuous. The North American SW 600 produces 104–127 V AC at 60 Hz through dual GFCI receptacles and is rated at 540 W continuous. Plugging equipment into an inverter with the wrong output voltage can damage it or stop it from working.

Choose the 700i only for 230 V, 50 Hz equipment. For standard US and Canadian appliances, compare the PROwatt SW 600. If you need more 230 V capacity, the PROwatt SW 2000i is rated at 2000 W continuous.
