1. OF YOUR APPLIANCE S All appliances have a rating plate that shows the amount of power Watts used or the current Amps drawn under normal use The following table shows the maximum combined AC Watts or AC Amps which can be run by the inverter P No IP2000 AC Combined maximum load Watts 2000W AC Combined maximum load Amps 8 3A Some appliances that use an electric motor or transformer may draw up to 10 times their power rating when first turned on These are called inductive loads and are the most difficult for the inverter to run Contact your appliance manufacturer for further advice SUITABLE POWER SOURCE In order to operate the inverter and supply power to an appliance a suitable power supply is required typically a vehicle or caravan battery portable power pack or an independent 12V lead acid battery For most applications a deep cycle battery is recommended for best performance The size of the battery used will determine how long the inverter will supply power to an appliance and how well the inverter will perform Most batteries are marked with their size in Amp hours Ah or Cold Cranking Amps CCA Because 12V inverters are capable of drawing high currents the inverter should only be connected to a suitable size battery Connection to an undersized battery could damage the battery and will result in the inverter shutting down within a short period due to low battery voltage The amount of power drawn f2.
