Alternating Current (AC) Power Point
The AC (Alternating Current) outlet is a standard 3-prong outlet, similar to a standard wall outlet.
The contacts of the outlet exert a more powerful grip on the plug so that it does not shake loose on poor road surfaces. A green LED (Light-emitting Diode) illuminates to show that the unit has been activated.
Direct Current-Alternating Current (DC-AC) Inverter
The DC (Direct Current)- AC (Alternating Current) inverter converts a 12 volt DC (Direct Current) input to a 110 volt AC (Alternating Current) output.
