Note:
Appliance specifications may vary from brand to brand. This table is offered
only as a guide to approximate power ratings. Check appliance manuals or
product labeling for actual ratings. For continuous use at maximum output, the
MAXX SST
providing at least 1/10th of the inverter's continuous wattage rating.
The inverter will operate most AC loads within its power rating. Some induction
motors used in refrigerators, freezers, pumps and other motor-operated equipment,
require very high surge currents to start them. The inverter may not be able to start
some of these motors even though their rated current draw is within specifications for
this power inverter.
If a motor refuses to start, observe the battery voltage using a DC voltmeter while
trying to start the motor. If the battery voltmeter drops below 11 volts while the inverter
is attempting to start the motor, this may be why the motor won't start. Make sure the
™ inverter must be connected to a DC power supply capable of
