LOAD CONSIDERATIONS
When a motorized appliance motor starts, it requires an initial surge of power. This surge of
power is called the “starting load” or “peak load”. Once started, the appliance requires less
power to continue to operate. This is known as the “continuous load”. It is important to know the
starting loads and the continuous loads of the appliances that are to be powered by the inverter.
Appliance power is rated in watts. This information is usually stamped or printed on most
appliances and equipment. In some cases, a tool will be rated in amperes. To convert from amps
to watts, multiply: AMPS X 115 (AC voltage) = WATTS. This formula yields an approximation of
the continuous wattage load of the appliance.
The start up load of an appliance is a major factor of whether this inverter can power it. Start-up
load is momentary. With many devices, it is approximately twice the continuous load. However,
with some devices start-up load can be as high as eight times the continuous load. To determine
if an appliance or tool will operate with this inverter, run a test. This inverter is designed to
automatically shut down in the event of an output overload, so there is no danger of damaging
either the inverter or the equipment.
This inverter may not properly operate some devices with either speed control features or dimmer
controls. Some appliance GFCI power cords will not operate properly while powered by this
inverter. Again, the only way to be sure of proper operation, is to try it.
If an appliance within the 8,000 watt range will not operate properly, it is likely that the inverter
system does not have the required output to operate that appliance.
SAFETY WARNING. THE INVERTER OUTPUT CAN BE LETHAL. IMPROPER USE OF THIS INVERTER
MAY RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
