High Surge Appliances

The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power
used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions,
computer monitors and appliances with motors consume
much more power than their average rating when they are
first switched on.
Although XPower Powerpack can supply momentary surge
power up to 600 W, some appliances may exceed the
capabilities of the XPower Powerpack and trigger the
inverter's safety overload shutdown circuit.
