Operating Loads With High Surge Requirements
The power, or wattage, rating of AC loads is the average amount
of power they use. Some appliances consume more power than
their power rating when they are first turned on. TVs, monitors,
and electric motors are some products that have high surge
requirements at start up. The XPower inverters can supply
momentary surge power that is higher than its maximum power
rating, some products rated less than power rating maximum for
your inverter may exceed its surge capability and trigger an
overload shutdown. If this problem occurs when attempting to
operate several AC products at the same time, try first switching
on the inverter with all AC products switched off, then one by
one switch each on, starting with the high surge product first.
