120 VOLT AC PORTABLE POWER SUPPLY
This unit has a built-in Power Inverter that provides up to 200 watts of AC power. This inverter is an
electronic device that converts low voltage DC (direct current) electricity from a battery to 120 volts AC
(alternating current) household power. It converts power in two stages. The first stage is a DC-to-DC
conversion process that raises the low voltage DC at the inverter input to 145 volts DC. The second
stage is a MOSFET bridge stage that converts the high voltage DC into 120 volts, 60 Hz AC.
Power Inverter Output Waveform
The AC output waveform of this inverter is known as a modified sine wave. It is a stepped waveform
that has characteristics similar to the sine wave shape of utility power. This type of waveform is suitable
for most AC loads, including linear and switching power supplies used in electronic equipment,
transformers, and small motors.
Rated Versus Actual Current Draw of Equipment
Most electrical tools, appliances, electronic devices and audio/visual equipment have labels that indicate
the power consumption in amps or watts. Be sure that the power consumption of the item to be
operated is below 200 watts. If the power consumption is rated in amps AC, simply multiply by the AC
volts (120) to determine the wattage.
Resistive loads are the easiest for the inverter to run; however, it will not run larger resistive loads (such
as electric stoves and heaters), which require far more wattage than the inverter can deliver. Inductive
loads (such as TVs and stereos) require more current to operate than do resistive loads of the same
wattage rating.
CAUTION: Rechargeable Devices
• Certain rechargeable devices are designed to be charged by plugging them directly into an AC
receptacle. These devices may damage the inverter or the charging circuit.
• When using a rechargeable device, monitor its temperature for the initial ten minutes of use to
determine if it produces excessive heat.
• If excessive heat is produced, this indicates the device should not be used with this inverter.
• This problem does not occur with most of the battery-operated equipment. Most of these devices use
a separate charger or transformer that is plugged into an AC receptacle.
• The inverter is capable of running most chargers and transformers.
