If some electrical devices cannot be powered by the AC output of the power station, it may be due to the device's rated power exceeding the power station's rated output or certain devices requiring a high peak power during startup that exceeds the power station's peak power and duration limits. If you encounter the following issue while using AC output, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the problem.

Issue: AC output is functioning, but some devices within the rated power limit cannot be powered.

Steps to Troubleshoot and Resolve AC Output Issues:

Confirm the Type and Power of the Device:

Check the power rating of the device on its label (usually marked as power consumption).

Ensure the device’s power requirement is compatible with the power station’s rated output power.

If the device’s power exceeds the power station’s rated output, the power station will activate overload protection, shutting down the output and preventing the device from working.

For inductive devices (electromechanical equipment such as refrigerators, power tools, water pumps, lawnmowers, etc.), calculate the power requirement as 3-8 times the device’s rated power to account for startup peak power.

Solution: Use devices that are compatible with the power station’s rated output.

If the device requires a higher power output, consider upgrading to a power station with a higher capacity.

Note:

Inductive devices, such as motors, compressors, and water pumps, operate based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. These devices typically require a much higher startup current (approximately 3-8 times their operating current) to begin functioning. For example, a refrigerator with a running power of 50W may require a startup power of over 350W.

By following these steps and recommendations, you can resolve AC output compatibility issues.
