Operating Limits

Power Output

The Prowatt 1000 will deliver up to 1000 watts or 8 amps continuously, depending on input voltage and ambient temperature. The 1000 watt capability is reached when ambient temperature is less than 68º F (20º C) and input voltage is between 12 and 13 volts.

The inverter will deliver more than 1000 watts or 8 amps for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. The inverter must cool for 15 minutes before it can resume operation above 1000 watts.

The wattage rating applies to resistive loads such as incandescent lights while the current rating applies to reactive loads such as motors.

Input Voltage

The input voltage limits are shown in the following table.

Operating
Condition	Voltage Range	Comment
Normal	10 V–15 V
Peak Performance	12 V–14.5 V
Low Voltage Alarm	Voltage is	The audible low battery alarm sounds
	10.7 V or less	and the VOLTS indicator is in the
		lower red area.
Low Voltage	Voltage is less	The inverter shuts down to protect the
Shutdown	than 10 V	battery from being over-discharged.
High Voltage	Voltage is 15 V	The inverter shuts down to protect
Shutdown	or more	itself from excessive input voltage.
		The VOLTS indicator is in the upper
		red area.
		Note: Although the PROwatt 1000
		incorporates over-voltage protection,
		it can still be damaged if input voltage
		exceeds 16 V.
