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
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.
