check the owner's manual or contact the manufacturer to determine if the
device you are using is compatible with a modified sine wave source.
Multiply: AMPS X 110 (AC voltage) = WATTS
This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your
appliance.
Multiply: WATTS X 2 = Starting Load
This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of your appliance.
Most often the start up load of the appliance or power tool determines whether
your inverter has the capability to power it.
To determine whether the inverter will operate a particular piece of equipment or appliance, run a
test. The inverters are designed to automatically shut down in the event of a power overload.
This protection feature prevents damage to the unit while testing appliances and equipment with
ratings in the 1000 watt range.
If an appliance in the 1000 watt range will not operate properly when first connected to the
inverter, turn the inverter rocker switch ON(I), OFF(0), 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 appliance in question.
