Could this drive a 150W appliance via the AC outlet, even for a limited amount of time, once at full charge?

It depends on the appliance. If the appliance requires a big surge current to start, then I'd say no. I doubt if you'll be able to pull a steady 150W out of this unit. Another thing to keep in mind is the wattage/amperage listed on the appliance is the maximum it is supposed to consume during operation, but the actual draw could be less.For example, I tested an electric can opener rated at 1.4A (168 watts) and it did run. But was it pulling 160W? I doubt it. At the other end of the spectrum, I plugged a lamp with a 75W incandescent bulb and it tripped the circuit breaker immediately (too much surge current). I tested a window fan rated at 0.85A (102 watts) and it did run, but sounded weak. It depends on the appliance. If the appliance requires a big surge current to start, then I'd say no.

depends on your house :)if 1000W are enough, yes (eg a holiday cottage)but major appliances like washer, stove etc need more, much moreFor a whole house application i would recommend a larger stationary converter with power factor correction

Surely you can. Any labled wattage (actual wattage) under 150W can be used.

As long as your wattage is correct I am sure you can charge it with anything that has the AC receptical and and produces 120 volts

Only to achieve 2x 1000watts. The 120vac side cannot be connected together. The outputs of the ac sinewave will not be synchronized and damage to the units and/or connected equipment would be damaged.

It won't be anywhere near 150w, you must have a very big SUV! I have one of these and although it inflates fast , the pump is quite quiet and I'd be surprised if it uses even 10w. Just to clarify I am talking the actual maximum wattage drawn, not the type of power source recommended. It also inflates so fast nothing is going to overheat either. I have tried it with 110v, which is, as you would expect fine (so 115 is fine).

Yes, it can be used for this purpose, but its only outlet is for a cigarette-lighter adapter. So you'll need one of those to plug your appliance into.

Most probably no. Check the power consumed by your device in question before plugging it in. This particular model holds 200 W at most, but there are others available, up to 3 kW - they will hold almost anything.

Shouldn't be a problem so long as you don't exceed the maximum wattage the unit can support

I've never tried that amount of load at any one time but I can't imagine it will tolerate it for much time. 180 secs maybe ok but if it was me I would buy a more powerful inverter. Always good to check with the manufacturer though just to get their input. Good luck

Why wouldn't it? It has an ordinary 2- or 3-prong receptacle and will accept any electronic or electrical item that uses less than 150 Watts. 115V. That means no refrigerators, coffeemakers, or microwaves - but I would expect it should run or charge a laptop; just like plugging its power-supply into the wall.

Short answer yes, but make sure you have some kind of gfci, or fuse on the 110 sides' loop

Not a chance. The voltage isn't a problem, it's the wattage. 180W is good for laptops, and other small items. Vacuums, heating elements, etc. will pull in excess of 500W.

It would probably do the job but normaly large appliances like this should be powered direct to a dedicated outlet
664122
as long as you have 100 amp . It needs to be plugged in with no other appliances plugged in or not into a multi strip

Yes but probably for only one hour at peak draw of 1500 Watts the 3000 Watts is only a surge rating...as well this inverter fan is extremely loud so it needs to be installed in a remote location otherwise the noise might drive you crazy

No, and most outlets like that would be fused at 10-15 amps or 120-180 watts
