Appliances
and tools with induction motors (marked * in tables) may
require from 3 to 7 times the listed wattage when starting. The start-up
load of the appliance or tool determines whether an inverter has the capability
to power it. Be sure to check the specific wattage requirements and operating
instructions for appliances / tools to be used
F.Y.I.
..... (conversion formula: Watts ÷ 120 = Amps ........ Amps x 120 = Watts)
