Difference Between Pure Sine Wave Inverter w Transfer Switch PD34FR and PD1210NR

Published 12/07/2021

Question:

Would you please explain the difference between the Progressive Dynamics PD94FR and the PD1210NR. Also, on DC inputs do they take ringed battery cables or do I have to modify? Thank you.

The Progressive Dynamics Pure Sine Wave Inverter w Transfer Switch and Cord - Remote - 1,000 Watts - 12V # PD34FR is the new replacement for the kit PD1210NR that you referenced. These are essentially the same, except the upgrade only has ports for the AC connections instead of GFCI for some AC connections. These use lugs for the DC connections instead of the ring terminals like what it sounds like you have.

Personally I'd go with the newer part # PD34FR. Since it's newer it means that it will be more relevant and it will be easier to obtain replacement parts or get help with troubleshooting if it's needed in the future.
