Your ad says this also functions as an invertor, but the specs don't mention it. ????

Peak spec sheet states 100 watts. Found sheet at Menards. http://www3.menards.com/main/store/20090519001/items/media/Hardware/OLDWO003_200/Prod_Tech_Spec/PKPS-1011_spec_F_HR-PKC0AQ_AS.pdf

Yes but the problem is that they have used a cheap inverter. After a few uses the thing fries and can't be fixed so it's JUNK. FORGET BUYING THIS PIECE OF CRAP!

I only wish I knew.It just runs on a regular current....I do not know what an inverter is. I sure do like mine under my desk.

Many issues. 36K here is an inverter model. Also it is much more expensive to build to be able to reach to that capacity in a limited space. Main reason is the economies of scale rule. Consider buying 2 sets of 018 models instead.

100 Watt inverter per manufacturer's spec sheet here http://tinyurl.com/c3dj635

I ran a small 400 watt inverter off of this unit to operate a laptop computer up on the dash of my motorhome while underway. Worked fine but the key of course is having it on a properly fused 12 volt circuit matched to whatever device your trying to run. This unit has a 15 amp limit. Use it improperly and I'm sure it would burn up.

I think it is not dual voltage, in that I've seen nothing to indicate that it is, but I can't say that I know for sure. Sorry I wasn't more helpful.

No, connect it to your 12v Battery that powers your invertor. I use this on mine it works amazing!

No, it is just a basic 1000W inverter. I think you are mistaking an inverter for a Universal Power Supply (UPS) that has a small battery in it to keep your electronics running for a short time in the case of a power outage.

I am not sure I understand your question. This unit is an inverter and produces a modified sine wave output at the stated voltage range. It normally uses commercial sine wave AC current to drive the inverter, but if you want to use use non commercial power like a portable generator or newer portable inverter, there is no reason it would not work but I have never used it in the arrangement. Some generators and inverters have 12 volt outputs anyway but not at 20-30 or 50 amp rating like this unit can supply. If you plan to use an inverter to drive this inverter, you can expect some additional noise in some sensitive devices like a nearby AM radio. I gape this answers your question.

this inverter is a under powered inverter. go with a aims inverter!! I picked up a pure sine wave aims inverter and have been loving it.

We haven't run it with such an inverter, but we did look at the circuitry inside when evaluating it, and it shouldn't need a pure sine-wave. In fact, it only pulls power at the peaks of the sine wave (it has around a 0.7 power factor), and will actually run with an appropriate high-voltage DC input instead of AC. So it shouldn't care if your inverter is "modified-sine-wave". Your inverter, however, may care that the supply only pulls power during part of the cycle, and you may therefore need an inverter with a higher peak output power/current than you were expecting.

Yes just find out how much amps and watts it uses and buy a inverter that's enough for it.

ok here goes, it appears that you are makeing the mistake of thinkink the display shows load it doesnt do that it is telling you you have 1536 watts available to use as you run you will find that the 1536 will decrease until your inverter shut down for low voltage/watts available... I hope this helps.

Both, it support U and EU plugins end it is inverter and coverer! One of a kind :)

the blue power adaptor you are talking about is called "inverter". You need that one for it to work.

I am not familiar with this. I guess you would have to look at the "specs" of the "thing" you want to plug in and see what it's power requirements are.
