their Power ratings exceed 1000W but are below the instantaneous Peak Power rating of 2000W. The
Inverter
will
automatically
shut
itself
OFF
after
a
short
period
of
powering
these
devices.
Example B: A Kettle with 2200W Power Rating, or Gerni (High Pressure hose) with 2400W Power Rating
can not be connected to any model. The Inverter will immediately shut itself OFF should you attempt to
power
these
devices.

When the ToughPower is connected as per the
Dual Battery Bypass Controller setup, and the car is
running, the ToughPower will attempt to obtain the required power for the 1000W Pure Sine Wave
Inverter from the car Alternator. Direct BULK power from the car Alternator effectively means that your
car can provide an “unlimited” source of power to high power appliances instead of discharging the
ToughPower
battery.

The combined simultaneous load on these outlets cannot exceed 15 Amps, otherwise the Circuit Breaker
will
disconnect
the
power.
Simply connect your appliance to the appropriate socket as required. Power is immediately available.
These three DC Outlet sockets are protected by a single
15 Amp
Manual Reset Circuit Breaker
. The circuit
breaker button will “pop” out to indicate that current has been stopped to the three Outlet Sockets. After
waiting a few minutes, the circuit breaker button can be depressed and power to the three DC outlet
sockets
will
resume.

power the ToughPower is equipped with Anderson Connector/s. The TP-1000
DUAL
model is provided with 1 Anderson connector while the TP-600 & TP-1000 models are provided with 2
Anderson
connectors.
Attach your high current device to the Anderson Connector and power is immediately available. The
Anderson Connector/s have a
50 Amp Max load. This connector is protected with a
50 Amp Self Resetting
Circuit Breaker
. When an overcurrent condition exists the internal circuit-breaker will activate and stop
power to the connector. After a few minutes the circuit breaker will automatically reset and power to the
connector
will
resume.
