Is it safe to use a surge protector which is plugged into a 12VDC mobile power inverter? Or will it damage the surge protector (or the inverter)?

Best Answer

It depends on their implementation.

If inverter gives you sine output(unlikely, at least for mid-range models) - you should be fine. If inverter give you rectangle output - there is some possibility of damaging protector.

I would turn it on and see if they overheat. If it's not the case - you should be fine.
