When you turn on a device or a tool that runs on a motor, the device basically goes through
two stages:
1. Start Up – Requiring an initial surge of power (commonly known as the "starting or
peak load").
2. Continuous Operation – Power consumption drops (commonly known as the
"continuous load").
The wattage (WATTS) or amperes (AMPS) can normally be found stamped or printed on most
devices and equipment, or in the user's manual. Otherwise, contact the manufacturer to find out
whether the device you want to use is compatible with a modified sine wave.
To calculate the wattage: Wattage = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
To calculate the starting load: Starting Load = 2 x WATTS. In general, the start up load of the
device or power tool determines whether your inverter has the capability to power it.
To calculate the continuous load: Continuous Load = AMPS x 120 (AC Voltage).
Always run a test to establish whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of
equipment or device. In the event of a power overload, the inverter is designed to automatically
shut down. This safety feature prevents damaging the inverter while testing devices and equipment
within the wattage range of the inverter.
If a device does not operate properly when first connected to the inverter, turn the inverter rocker
switch ON (I), OFF (O), and ON (I) again in quick succession. If this procedure is not successful, it
is likely that the inverter does not have the required capacity to operate the device in question.
This inverter is designed to power 100 watt devices or less when used with the
vehicle 12 volt accessory port. To use the full output you must use the battery clips adapter and
connect the inverter directly to the battery.
noTE: The 100 watt limit is to accommodate the fuse ratings for all vehicles. Some vehicles may
allow the full output. If the fuse blows when you switch on the device you are trying to use, you
have to either use a smaller device or connect the inverter directly to the battery.
This inverter uses a nonsinusoidal waveform. Therefore we do not recommend
you use it to power the following devices:
1. Switch Mode Power Supplies;
2. Linear Power Supplies;
3. Class 2 Transformers;
4. Line Filter Capacitors;
5. Shaded Pole Motors;
6. Fan Motors;
7.
Microwave Ovens;
8. Fluorescent and High Intensity Lamps (with a Ballast); and
9. Transformerless Battery Chargers.
Doing so, may cause the device to run warmer or overheat.
