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.
Trouble Appliances
t
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.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, power tools,
kitchen appliances, and other loads may be damaged.
• Some chargers for small rechargeable batteries can be
damaged. See “Precautions for Using Rechargeable
Appliances” on page ix for details.
• Metal halide arc (MHI) lights can be damaged.
CAUTION
The output of the Powerpack’s inverter is non-
sinusoidal.
Some equipment may be damaged by the inverter’s
modified sine wave output (non-sinusoidal).
Note: If you are unsure about powering any device with the
inverter, contact the manufacturer of the device.
