AC Input/Output Connection

To avoid overloading your Inverter/Charger, be sure to match the power requirements of the equipment you plan to run at any one time (add their total watts) with the output wattage capacity of your Inverter/Charger (see Specifications section). When figuring the power requirements of your equipment, do not confuse “continuous” wattage with “peak” wattage ratings. Most electric motors require more power at start-up (“peak” wattage) than required to run continuously after start-up, sometimes over 100% more. Some motors, such as in refrigerators and pumps, start and stop intermittently according to demand, requiring “peak” wattage at multiple, unpredictable times during operation.

Plug the Inverter/Charger’s AC input cord into an outlet providing 120V AC, 60Hz. power. Make sure that the circuit you connect your Inverter/Charger to has adequate overload protection, such as a circuit breaker or a fuse. To make use of AC output (either utility/generator pass-through power or inverter power) simply plug your equipment into the Inverter/Charger's AC receptacle. Any equipment you connect to it will benefit from your Inverter/Charger’s built-in ISOBAR® surge protection!

Warning! Consult a qualified electrician and follow all applicable electrical codes and requirements for hardwire connection. Disconnect both DC input and AC utility supply before attempting hardwiring.
