High Surge Appliances

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

Although the XPower Powerpack can supply momentary surge power up to 320 W, some appliances may exceed the capabilities of the XPower Powerpack and trigger the safety overload shutdown circuit.

Trouble Appliances

CAUTION

The output of the XPower Powerpack’s inverter is non-sinusoidal. Some equipment may be damaged by the XPower Powerpack’s inverter modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal).

Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be damaged if they are connected to the inverter:

•Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
