Operating Loads With High Surge Requirements

The power, or wattage, rating of AC loads is the average amount of power they use. Some appliances consume more power than their power rating when they are first turned on. TVs, monitors, and electric motors are some products that have high surge requirements at start up. The XPower inverters can supply momentary surge power that is higher than its maximum power rating, some products rated less than power rating maximum for your inverter may exceed its surge capability and trigger an overload shutdown. If this problem occurs when attempting to operate several AC products at the same time, try first switching on the inverter with all AC products switched off, then one by one switch each on, starting with the high surge product first.
