High Surge Appliances

The wattage rating of AC appliances is the average power used by the appliance. Appliances such as televisions, computer monitors and appliances with motors consume much more power than their average rating when they are first switched on.

Although XPower Powerpack can supply momentary surge power up to 600 W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the XPower Powerpack and trigger the inverter’s safety overload shutdown circuit.
