3 Using the Jazz 300
The Jazz 300 is capable of continuously powering most 120-volt AC products that
use 240 watts or less. Its AC output waveform, called modified-sine wave, is
designed to function similarly to the sine wave shape of utility power.
The power, or wattage, rating of AC products is the average power they use. When
many AC products are first switched on, they initially consume more power than
their power rating. TVs, monitors, and electric motors are examples of products that
have high surge requirements at start up. Although the Jazz 300 can supply
momentary surge power as high as 500 watts, occasionally some products rated less
than 240 watts may exceed its surge capabilities and trigger its safety overload
shutdown feature. If this problem occurs when attempting to operate several AC
products at the same time, try first switching on the inverter with all AC products
switched off, then one by one switch each on, starting with the high surge product
first.
