Re: Exeltech 1100w/24v XP VS Xantrex Prosine 1000w/24v
I have an Exeltech 1100/12v inverter and I love it, but I have no experience with the Xantrex Prosine. I considered both inverters before I selected the Exeltech. I chose the Exeltech because its made in the USA, has a little more power, and is less expensive than the Prosine.
Other things to consider:
The Exeltech has a thermostatically controlled fan. In my application the fan seldom runs, and so the inverter is quiet.
The Exeltech has very good line and load regulation, with little distortion. My TV has a streak-free picture, with no audio noise, since I started using the Exeltech.
The Exeltech switches on very quickly, an important characteristic when using this inverter with a transfer switch. The Prosine takes 2.5 seconds to transfer when using the power save setting. If this is not a problem in your application, then it is a good feature. Otherwise you might need to sacrifice higher no-load power drain for speed. I believe the Exeltech uses 10 watts (no load) with an option, not 20.
A remote switch can be wired to a terminal strip on the rear of the Exeltech, but I don't believe it accepts AC wiring.
Hope this helps.
