Can it supply energy to a normal fan during an outage? And how long approximatly will it last supplying power to that fan which needs 70 watts p/h ?

Yes,it can as I found my old note books from University and it goes like this.In a 12 volts system-Sine Wave Inverter.12 volt and 150 amps battery is needed wired in parallel to the Sine Wave Inverter. // means all positive together and all negatives together.The formula is as follows:10 times the amperes of the battery(150) divided by the Load divided by 2 equals....1500 divided by 70 divided by 2 equals 21 3/7 divided by 2.....150/7 times1/2 equals 150/14 equals 10 5/7 hours or roughly 11 hours of run time.Further or more alternatively,you will need some tech skills in attaching a Solar Panel to the battery to keep it charge,which is another topic......

I use mine every night for my cpap machine while we are dry camping. I am able to use it for 3 or 4 nights without recharging the marine battery.

I installed a small UPS like you would use for a computer. Gives me about 90 minutes of full load run time. When in standby, it uses little or no energy, so it will get me through most short outages where it's not worth the effort of hooking up the generator.

You do not want to run it with a generator because it is worthless! It is the most worthless item I have ever purchased. You are bettert 0ff operating a fan. It does not perform well.

I would look at the amp rating, but any DC power supply at 5V can run this fan. Just test it with old power adopters but make sure to read voltage on the back.

The fan stays on until the powersupply cools off --- not necessarily 15 seconds. If it's really "indefinitely", then it's broken.

The marking on the fan reads: MOTOR: TP 120V 1.1A That would make it 132W at full power. There is no mention of consumption at lower power levels.

Yes, you can have a ups to plug your psu into. I would looking at the AFC BE750G Power Saving Battery Back-UPS it will last for about 30 minutes after the power goes out.

Should handle it fine considering its power source is a molex connection from you're power supply. So whatever amperage your PSU puts out should carry over to this fan controller..... In theory that is. I like this product only thing I didn't like was trying to hide the mass amount of wires it has.

Wattage not mentioned in manual, sorry. However, I have used at least weekly since buying. It's awesome and as far as I can tell it does NOT lose any power while running it. It does have a seven minute power failure back up. Memory holds for that seven minutes.

The battery can draw/use 1 amp and run 7 hours. You have to know how many amps the fan will draw... for an example the fan draws 2 amps then the fan can run about 3.5 hours

You need a 12VDC power supply - could be a wall-wart you might already have, or some other power supply. I found an inexpensive 12V power supply on Amazon that I used in my project that powered the fan, as well as some other circuitry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FH54L6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Then you need to wire the fan to the supply - either solder the wires, use terminals or wire nuts, etc.

energy is extremely less than a 600 watt hps, but the power isn't there either. You would need two to replace a 600 watt hps

Depending on the fan.. The power output of this inverter is 400 Watt continuous and 1000 Watt Peak output. Most household fans are ~25 Watts. So it should handle it without a problem.

This unit is powered by a Honda engine, which is key. The unit runs at 7000 watts and has a peak of 8,750 watts. Whether that is enough for your home depends on the sq. footage. I really like the unit although I have not had to use in an outage as of yet.

This is a very handy thing but would probably not be adequate for anything but charging a cell phone, laptop, tablet, or ipad. But if your fan has a power consumption of 50 watts or less, it MIGHT work.

You can what you need as long as the wattage in not greater than 3200 watts. Multiple 120 volts X number of amperes of each device to get total wattage demand. For example your refrig requires say 12 amps current so you would be using 1440 watts of power. Four 60 watt light bulbs burning would consume 240 watts, add an electric heater would probably eat up 1500 watts. So, for power outages, you might consider one of twice the wattage. This little generator helped me to power electric chainsaws after several trees were downed. It's a good buy.

yes, the unit will provide power to an average 18 refridge for approximately 5 hrs..... You would need a 120v source of electricity to charge this unit during a power outage...If no 120v source of electricity if available, such as a gas generator, capable of outputting 120vAC power, then the power unit will operate until battery capacity is available. The unit would then have to be recharged once grid power is restored...
