Understanding AC Appliances

AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in
watts) they consume. XPower Powerpack can power most
appliances within its continuous power rating (240 W, 1 A).
Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate
from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge
requirements or should not be run from the XPower
Powerpack. See "High Surge Appliances" on page 15 and
"Trouble Appliances" on page 15.
