Comprehensive Protection

Automatic Overload

The XPower Powerpack has built-in protection against output overload. If you connect an appliance that draws more than 320 W to the AC Outlet(s), or one which draws excessive surge power, the power to the AC Outlet automatically shuts off. The unit will reset automatically after the loads are removed and the unit cools down.

The DC Socket is protected by a thermal switch that monitors the temperature of the socket. If an overload condition occurs while using the DC Socket, the excessive temperature will shut down the power to the Socket.
