AC Load on Power Inverter
Although the Power Inverter can provide high surge power up to two times the rated output
power, some appliances may still trigger on the inverter protection system. A higher power
inverter is required for those appliances.
For 38204 , with modified sine wave output, some appliances like speed controllers found in
some fans, power tools and some power tools' AC charger may not like the modified sine wave
generated by the inverter, those appliances may not work or may be damaged if they are
connected to the inverter. If you are unsure about powering any device with the inverter, contact
the manufacturer of the device.
