bEfORE USINg POWER INVERTER 140
It is important to know the continuous wattage of the device
you plan to use with the inverter. The Power Inverter 140
must be used with devices drawing 140 watts or less. If the
wattage is not marked on the device, an estimate can be
made by multiplying the AC input current (Amps) by the AC
voltage (110V).
Devices like TVs, fans or electric motors require additional
power to start (commonly known as the “starting or peak
power”). The Power Inverter 140 can supply a momentary
surge in wattage; however even devices rated less than the
maximum 140 watts can exceed the inverters surge capabil-
ity and cause an automatic overload shutdown.
Make sure the device you are using is compatible with a
modified sine wave inverter.
