Cobra CPI 2575  2500 Watt Power Inverter, Wind energy conversion to AC electricity, Testing and evaluation

Yesterday, after weeks of internet research and evaluations, I called Cobra customer service. The lady that I spoke to was courteous and knowledgeable. She gave me a comfort level that Cobra stands behind it’s products and that the CPI 2575  2500 Watt Power Inverter comes with a 2 year warranty. Today I ordered the Cobra inverter.

Some older inverters with lower wattage were used to test the wind generation system several months ago. They are inadequate for the power needed for ongoing projects including adding heat to that generated by passive solar collectors. This is a 12 volt DC to AC inverter, not grid tie inverter. If you are planning a wind or active solar project and plan to feed electricity into the grid, be aware that you may have to produce at least 24 volts. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways. Some wind and solar systems come ready for a minimum of 24 volts.

Here are the inverter specs:

  • 2500 W Continuous Power Handling
  • 5v USB output
  • 3Grounded AC Receptacles
  • Thermal Shutdown and Reverse Polarity Protection
  • LED volt/watt meter and remoter on/ off capable

Product Description

The Cobra CPI 2575 is a 12 volt DC to 120 volt AC power inverter with 2500 watts continuous power handling and 5000 Watts peak power. This unit contains a 5 volt USB output, modified sine wave, thermal shutdown, reverse polarity protection, low voltage shutdown, low voltage alarm, 3 grounded AC receptacles, LED volt/watt meter and has remote on/off capability.
For more information:
It is my understanding that the  2500 watts continuous power handling is limited to an hour, but that it will handle lower wattage continuously for much longer periods.
Return often for our evaluation of the Cobra CPI 2575  2500 Watt Power Inverter and other Green Energy products.
***  Important  ***
When connecting an inverter to batteries, make sure you use the proper gauge wire as indicated by the inverter manufacturer.
