Inverter Loads
The PROwatt 600 will operate most AC loads within its
power rating (600 watts / 5 amps). However, some appliances
and equipment may be difficult to operate, and other
appliances may actually be damaged if you try to operate
them with the PROwatt 600. Please read “Problem Loads”
and “Trouble Loads” carefully.
Problem Loads
Some induction motors used in freezers, pum ps, and other
motor-operated equipment need high surge currents to start.
The PROwatt 600 may not be able to start some of these
m otors even though their rated current draw is w ithin the
PRO watt’s lim its. The PRO watt 600 will norm ally start
single-phase induction motors rated at 1/4 horsepower or less.
Trouble Loads
Some appliances, including the types listed below, may be
damaged if they are connected to the PROwatt 600:
• Electronics that modulate RF (radio frequency) signals
on the AC line will not work and may be damaged.
• Speed controllers found in some fans, kitchen appliances,
and other loads may be damaged.
• Some rechargers for small nickel-cadmium batteries can
be damaged if connected to the PROwatt 600. See
“Precautions For Using Rechargeable Appliances” on
page ix for further details.
If you are unsure about powering any device with the
PROwatt 600, contact the manufacturer of the device.
