9. or loss of life Getting Off to a Good Start In order to ensure that the capacity of your Belkin Inverter is sufficient to meet the required start up load you must first determine the power consumption of the equipment or appliance you plan to operate Power consumption is rated either in wattage or in amperes Information regarding the required watts or amps is generally printed on most appliances or equipment If the power consumption is rated in amps multiply the number of amps by 230 AC voltage to determine the comparable wattage rating As a general rule you can determine the required start up load by multiplying the wattage rating by 20 Don t Push It Although your Belkin Inverter has the capacity to provide power output equal to approximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very brief period it is designed to operate equipment with start up load wattage ratings no higher than its own maximum continuous wattage rating Installation Power Source Requirements The power source must provides 12 Volts DC and must be able to supply the necessary current to operate the load The power source may be a battery or a well regulated 12V DC power supply As a rough guideline divide the power consumption of the load in watt by 12 the input voltage to obtain the current in amperes the power source must deliver Example Load is rated at 120 Watts the power source must be able to deliver 220 12 18 3 Amps
