OPERATION

4.5  POWER SHARING MODE 2

In generator mode:

•  The power required by the appliances (fridge, TV, outlets) is 

3600W

 (30AAC x 120VAC) - 

1.

•  Shore power (utility or generator) is connected and 

supplying 2400W 

(20AAC x 120VAC) -

 

2.

•  The inverter automatically switches on

 

and

 supplies the remaining 1200W 

(10AAC x 120VAC) of AC power 

required to power the appliances -
