Never mind the DC input - the AC output connections do not look even CLOSE to being able to handle 10,000 watts. This is almost 85 amps at 120 volts and the screw terminals and the wires going to them look good for maybe 20 amps. Has anyone ever...

What type of load are you attempting to power ( welder , 1hp compressor, etc) ?

They can take 120 watts straight out. I haven't pushed them pass that level.

It's an amp, it's connected to 120. Consumes 260 on max use. And provides u 150x7w. Makes sense to me ;)

The voltage converter is integrated, so it is not intended for 12V use. If you search Amazon, you will find that there is available a virtually identical-looking 10 watt unit designed for 12V AC/DC. Therefore I would say that it is not worth it to purchase these with the intent to open them up and modify them for 12V use.

I'm sure you'll get some more informative responses than I'm able to give, but I would not recommend it. If you know someone who can check your wiring to see if it can support a 20 amp circuit, I'd pursue that.

I think you have a problem. The tubes require 700VAC and that is a reality. My complaint is the lack of documentation. Colorful wires yes, instructions no. Be very careful with transformer when energized. There are voltages that are lethal. I have limited engineering skills - check the other posts.

I used the one I bought to power a 2000 watt stereo system with 1 gauge wire and it worked great. All the db stuff I bought was exactly as it was described. If it says it will handle 0 gauge id say it will. I was using ofc copper wire and not that copper coated alum stuff.

I will look at it but its 7.5 amps so your never going to flip a light duty 15amp breaker. Provided its the only signifcant draw on the circut. Ive run it extensivly from a celing basement light fixture incandessent 800lumins standard 60w replacement and a stereo off that circut with no problems. Not a great idea but i was literaly in a coal chamber of my 100+yr. House. 20amp gcfi i installed was using my radial saw on and a lot of back and forth. Kinda a ramble but point being any problem on performance. If you want watts its circut amp current multiplied by volts 120v in this case. Amps are probably more relavant for a power tool. 3000rpm. This and a Ridged imlact wrench almost cover all my needs. Good build.

6000 watts in this case is absolute peak at low ohms that I don't think it can really hit. Inflated for marketing purposes. Read the manual to get the RMS rating and it is lower. Audio watts for some reason don't necessarily correspond to the draw from the plug. On the back of the unit on the plug it specifies 650W at 120V 60hz AC. I use it with regular 120V along with other amps and such. No problems.

NO, be certain to use a good DC power supply. I use a 20 Amp supply and it works fine with this supply.

After ur ?? I ran across a blog where a guy is powering a 350 watt car amp and a 12" mtx sub. "Im using a 250watt AT PC power supply that provides 10amps on the 12+v line. With this configuration I can easily power my amp and get great house shaking music now in my room." So rated at 30 amps continuous, u should have no problem. Is your input power fuse 30 amps or less? I would double check the maximum power requirements of my gear. This is not the quietest power supply, but u will quickly drown out any noise from this.

This supply provides up to 850 Watts of 120 volt power on 110 volts or 1000 Watts of 12 volt power on 240 voltsYou can't make 1000watts at 110 (120v) you get ~70amps at 12v when running off 110 (found in most homes in the US)850(watts out)/120(volts in)=7amps(current draw) + 20%(80% efficiency) =9.2 amps(wall current) most houses are rated 20amps for a room. Add in networking gear lights fans. You can over run the house wiring fast. That said I am running two miners that are ~400watts a peace off one of these with no ill effects. (Month 5 for me.)

Label on back says AC 1 amp / DC 5.5 amps and Total input is 80 wattsHope this helps

Yes. wattage has nothing to do with a standard 120v system. Its all about the amps.

It looks like there are FOUR 1/4" or maybe 5/16ths" (or metric eq.) sized bolt on terminals for the positive, and four more for the negative DC side - and I think 3/0 will do close to 200a, and 4/0 will do 250a or so (if your connectors are properly crimped, that is), so with 4 PAIR of DC input cables with very large conductors they may have enough input conductor capacity for over 800 amps, but STILL, that sucker must get good and hot with it running at 10KW continuously (or even close). It weight just under 50 lbs, so it must be larger than it seems in the pictures, too. Either way, 10KW is a BUNCH of watts!

To be perfectly honest with you -- I would not worry about how many watts it is --- I would not purchase this system no matter what. It was a total waste of our money!

I would not recommend it! Sounds like you need a 30 to 60 amp PS for that minimun!
