AC Output Connection
To avoid overloading your Inverter, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total
watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter model (see Specifications). When figuring the power requirements of your equip-
ment, do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require extra power at start-up (“peak”
wattage) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps,
start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.
• DoubleBoost
™
Feature
Tripp Lite Inverters deliver up to twice their nameplate rated
wattage for up to 10 seconds,* providing the extra power
needed to cold start heavy-duty tools and equipment.
• OverPower
™
Feature
Tripp Lite Inverters deliver up to 150% of their name
plate rated wattage for up to 1 hour,* providing plenty of reserve
power to reliably support tools and equipment longer.
* Actual duration depends on battery age, battery charge level and ambient temperature.
