Operating AC Appliances

Understanding AC Appliances

AC appliances are rated by how much electrical power (in watts) they consume. XPower Powerpack can power most appliances within its continuous power rating (320 W, 2.7 A).

Some appliances may be difficult or impossible to operate from the XPower Powerpack. They may have high surge requirements or should not be run from the XPower Powerpack. See “High Surge Appliances” on page 3–6and “Trouble Appliances” on page 3–6.

Run Time on Typical AC Appliances

Note: The fewer watts an AC appliance uses, the longer the XPower Powerpack will operate before recharging is required.

Typical AC appliances that can be used on the XPower

Powerpack are listed in Table 3-1.
