Output Power; Using The Ac Outlet Power Receptacles - Wagan Tech SOLAR e POWER CUBE 1500 Guide D'utilisation

Solar e Power
Do not connect more than 150W (total) of solar panels, including the 80W panels that are
attached. Doing so will overload the Solar Charge Controller and prevent the controller from
charging.
Make sure all air vents are not blocked while the Solar e Power Cube is in use. It is essential for
maintaining optimum performance.

OUTPUT POWER

Using the AC Outlet Power Receptacles

The Solar e Power Cube's Inverter can operate most AC appliances or a combination of appli-
ances up to 1500 watts. The Inverter is capable or handling up to 1500 watts for an extended
period of time when additional batteries are connected. However, additional batteries will not
increase the Inverters wattage capability beyond 1500W. Operating time (run time) is depen-
dant on the AC load (watts) and the charge and condition of the Solar e Power Cube's internal
battery and any connected external batteries. Low wattage AC loads and a full battery charge
result in longer operating times. Be sure to turn off or disconnect any AC appliance not in use.
The Inverter has a soft start function that protects the Inverter circuitry from a power surge com-
monly present when starting heavy loads. This function may take up to 3 seconds for the Inverter
power light to turn on.
Converting DC battery power to AC generates heat. To minimize heat buildup and possible ther-
mal shutdown, remove obstacles blocking or hindering airflow between the intake and exhaust
sides of the Solar e Power Cube. Ambient temperatures above 25 ºC will reduce the Inverter's
ability to cool effectively, thus affecting operating times.
This Inverter produces Modified Sine Wave (MSW) AC. The waveform differences can be seen
below. Both waveforms have the same electrical energy, however some average reading AC
voltmeters can not properly read MSW. Readings on a non-TRUE RMS meter will display up to
30 volts lower voltage than sine wave AC.

• Some rechargeable devices are equipped with a separate AC charger. These devices
are likely to operate properly with this Inverter. Rechargeable devices that have built-
in chargers (see device owner's manual) may not operate properly with this type of
Inverter.
