Resistive

 

 

Heaters, toasters, incandescent

light bulbs, electric range, hot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

pan, skillet, coffee maker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capacitive

 

 

TV sets, radios, microwaves,

 

 

Voltage spikes or high voltage

 

 

 

 

 

appliances with electrical control.

 

 

regulation can cause the capac-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

itative elements to fail. Surge

mended for 100% fail-safe opera-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tion. DO NOT RUN

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THESE DEVICES WITHOUT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL RESISTIVE TYPE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LOADS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Inductive

 

 

Single-phase induction motors,

 

 

These devices require large

 

 

 

 

 

drills, well pumps, grinders, small

 

 

current inrush for starting. (See

 

 

 

 

 

refrigerators, weed and hedge

Some synchronous motors may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

be frequency sensitive to attain

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

maximum output torque, but

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

they SHOULD BE SAFE from

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

any frequency induced failures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capacitive / Inductive

 

 

Computers, high resolution TV sets,

 

 

An inductive type line condition-

 

 

 

 

 

complicated electrical equipment.

 

 

er along with transient and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

surge protection is required,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and liabilities still exist.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DO NOT USE THESE DEVICES

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WITH A OUTBACK™ 185.
