Does this unit push out 600 watts continuously, or up to 600 watts depending on demand? I'm looking at these because I connect electronics to a portable generator sometimes and want to stabilize the voltage. However, I don't want a steady 600 watt draw...

I believe it is a passive device unless, the voltage is too low, it kicks it up or when the voltage is too high, it lowers it. It does have to use some wattage because it is "on" while it is waiting for power fluctuations even if you aren't using connected devices. Mine does lower my voltage all the time in Mexico. I have my computer ups plugged into it which shows the voltage on the display. (my ups won't regulate voltage until it gets to 143v, this device does it at about 126v)

its a 600w alternated generator... it will never reach 600wats... probably closer to 450w... though you are right there isnt any data supporting this... just do some research about ac to dc conversion...

No problems so far but I would not use constant power to the unit due to constant battery drain. I would use a external power switch to control power.

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.

Mine kept burning up the rectifier . I went through 3 rectifiers before I decided to take it apart to look into the problem....cheap wiring .I recommend Missouri wind and solar.their staff will help you find the wind generator to meet your needs .I used mine to charge my battery bank. what I run I do it with my 2500 watt pure sine inverter.I'm totally off grid .

http://www.convertunits.com/from/mA/to/watt/voltHere is the conversion I found. The product only has marked 600 mA (milliamps). I ran the conversions and 600 mA came out to 0.6.watts. On the backside the info listed is:600 mAInput: 100/120VAC. 50/60Hz 0.3AmzxVout DC: 3, 4.5, 6, 7.5, 9, 12On the front in has a voltage selector that can be moved to any of the following:12V, 9V, 7.5V, 6V, 4.5V, 3VIt also has a selector on the side that goes from (+) to (-) for me it it toward the (+).I use mine for an old personal single CD player. I did not change any settings, I put on the size adapter I needed, plugged it in and it works great for me.I do not know what all this information means but I hope it help answer your question. http://www.convertunits.com/from/mA/to/watt/voltHere is the conversion I found.

No, I believe the maximum is 44 watts! if you use more there is a risk of overheating the unit. This would be a potential fire risk. I would check with a licensed electrician to be sure!

Hi RickThank you for your question, and this unit has anOutput Amperage , Max Continuous = 100 amps. Maximum Power Output, Continuous= 1440 wattsMaximum AC Current@108 VAC= 13 ampsI hope this was helpful for you and thank you for choosing The Wires Zone.

I just took these readings from my solar charge controllers remote display. It appears to draw about .4 amps on low and .5 on high. I ran it for a while on both settings and it held steady at those readings. It was plugged into a cigarette adapter I'd install in the RV for small load devices.

1000W sustained. That being said, it won't supply that for long before it overheats. Even the manufacturer states load X 1.5 = recommended size transformer. I load mine to 660W but for only 3 minutes then the load drops to under 100W.

Hi Christian,Thank you for your inquiry!Due to the fact that this unit only has a 60 Amp Hour Battery, most large devices cannot be plugged into it continuously. Is there a specific item that you wanted to power on a continuous basis?Best regards,Earthtech Products

just look at the rating on the box. I'm using a smaller generator, and it works fine. BTW, there is a similar unit from the same company rated for 7000 watts (7kw), if you need to go larger. The box is the same size I think, but the connector arrangement is probably different, to handle more amperage. Good luck!

This unit has about a 1620 watt draw. I have a 5000 one and it works great matatically it shout work when running. The problem u may run into is the start up wattage. Many a/c unit can go about 4 times higher to start up the unit which would be around 6400 watts. My inverter has a 10k start up and it fires it up. I would guess u will have less than a 50-50 shot the generator will fire it up. If is can then your generator will give it the power it needs

The labelled wattage is 24 watts. It works much better than 17 watt unit it replaced. I'm about to order another one for my garage. I just wish it was 30-35 watts and had an auto-shutoff. Auto-shutoff is such an obvious requirement that I wonder why no one offers it.

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.

Maximum capacity: 500VA/500 Watts (from technical specs on product page)As you can see, the max continuous is less than the rated 600w. In this case it is 500w. On your generator, it is about half of the claimed watts, so if you have an a/c that uses 700watts you need a generator that has a claimed 1500 watts which would give you about 700/800 watts continuous.
