120 Volt AC Power Outlets
RATED VERSUS ACTUAL CURRENT DRAW OF EQUIPMENT
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual
equipment have labels that indicate the power consumption in amps or
watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be operated
is below 500 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC,
simply multiply by the AC volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for this unit to run; however, it will not
run larger resistive loads (such as electric stoves and heaters), which
require far more wattage than the unit can deliver on a continuous
basis. Inductive loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current
to operate than do resistive loads of the same wattage rating.
POWER INVERTER OUTPUT WAVEFORM
The AC output waveform of this unit is known as a modified sine wave.
It is a stepped waveform that has characteristics similar to the sine wave
shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable for most AC
loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic
equipment, transformers, and small motors.
