The chassis ground lug (Figure 3) must be connected to a grounding point. In a vehicle,
connect the chassis ground lug to the vehicle's chassis. In a boat connect to the grouding
system of the boat. In a fixed location connect to the ground.
OPERATING TIPS
RATED VERSUS ACTUALUSE OF EQUIPMENT
Most electrical tools, appliances and audio/video equipment have a label indicating power
consumption in amps or watts. Add up the power consumptionin those items you will be
using simultaneously, keeping total below max power of inverter. If the power consumption
i s r a t e d i n a m p s , m u l t i p l y b y t h e A C v o l t s (110/220/230/240) to determine the
wattage. For example, a television rated at 0.9 amps will use 99 watts, well within the limits
of what the power inverter can handle on a continuous basis. For more information
regarding the typical wattage draws of many appliances, please refer to the table on the back of this
manual.
Resistive loads, such as incandescent lights, are the easiest for the inverter to drive, though
larger resistive loads, such as electric stoves or heaters, require more power than the power
inverter can deliver continuouly. Inductive loads, such as TV's and stereos (any device with a
coil or a transformer in it) require more current to operate than a resistive load of the same power
rating. Induction motors (motors without brushes), as well as some televisions, may require 2
to 6 times their power rating to start up. This condition may require repeated "ON/OFF,
ON/OFF" several times switching of the power switch on your power inverter in order to get
them started. The most demanding are those that start under load, i.e. compressors and
pumps. Since motor and t e l e v i s i o n c h a r a c t e r i s t i c s v a r y w i d e l y, o n l y
experimentation will determine if a specific load can be started and how long it can be run.
There are no standards for "surge power" partly because it can not be simply
represented by a simple of single sample number. Though the 300w power inverter can provide
power up to 600 watts for a short period, experimentation is the only method of dete rmining
whether it can handle the surges generated by a particular load.
