GETTING STARTED
•
When you turn on an appliance or a tool that operates using a motor or tubes, it requires an
initial surge of power to start up. This surge of power is referred to as the "starting load" or
"peak load."
•
Once started, the tool or appliance requires less power to continue to operate. This referred
to as the "continuous load" in terms of power requirements.
•
You will need to determine how much power your tool or appliance requires to start up (star-
ting load) and it's continued running power requirements (continuous load).
•
Power consumption is rated either in wattage (watts), or in amperes (amps), and this infor-
mation is usually stamped or printed on most appliances or equipment, check the owner's
manual or contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you are using is compatible
with a modified sine wave.
Multiply: AMPS X 220 (AC voltage) = WATTS
This formula yields a close approximation of the continuous load of your appliance.
Multiply: WATTS X 2 = Starting Load
This formula yields a close approximation of the starting load of your appliance.
