Question 2

I want to connect the terminal output to a circuit onboard my RV that is sometimes energized by generator or shore power. Will it damage the inverter?

Accepted Answer

You will need to install a power transfer switch which will automatically disconnect the inverter when you plug into shore power.  (Or you can do it the old fashioned method with turning off the inverter input circuit breaker and turning on the main input power circuit breaker on your RV panel)

Question 3

I need to have this plugged into a 12V outlet in my vehicle.  Is this an option?

Accepted Answer

Woa....  You cannot connect this to a car outlet.   It's 2200 Watts at 120 volts is 18 AMPS (probably clipped to 15A on output plugs).    That's on the AC side.   This Inverter is for folks who want to power up things like Refrigerators, Microwaves etc.    BUT at say 9 AMPS average to the 120 volt side it's 10X that on the 12 volt side (90 Amps).   You need to wire this with special 0 - 2 Ga wire that is about the thickness of a 1/2 inch bolt!   Anything less and your battery will melt the wires to your cigarette lighter.   If you want a cigarette ligher sized inverter go to Walmart.

Question 4

what is the surge wattage of this 2200 watt inverter ?

Accepted Answer

The manual suggests a surge rating of 4400 watts but anything over 2200 watts for .05 seconds will cause the unit to automatically shut down. Any surge ratings on this inverter are not of any value or use. Some other brands of inverters can handle a surge for .5 to a couple of seconds but this inverter will immediately shut down. If you are trying to run and air conditioner then you will want to upsize your selection. We Also have the 4000 watt version of this inverter and it will easily run everything in our RV (including air conditioners and air conditioner/heat pumps
