DETERMINING SUITABLE LOAD / APPLIANCES:
tted with 1 or 2 approved AS/NZS Australian socket outlets (depending on model) 
either or both sockets can be used, as long as the combined load (Watts required to run appliance) 
does not exceed the inverters’ continuous rating. All appliances have a rating plate that shows the 
amount of power (Watts) used or the current (Amps) drawn under normal use.
The following table shows the maximum combined AC Watts or AC Amps which can be run 
by the inverter. 
P/No. IM150 IM300 IM600 IM1000 IM2000
AC Combined max load (Watts) 150W 300W 600W 1000W 2000W
AC Combined max load (Amps) 0.6 A 1.2 A 2.4 A 4.0 A 8.0 A
Number of sockets 1 1 2 2 2
Some appliances that use an electric motor or transformer may draw 2 to 6 times their rating when 
cult for the inverter to run. 
For these appliances it is often a matter of trial and error to see what size inverter they will run on, 
if in doubt always use a larger inverter. The following table is a guide to the appropriate AC Watt 
drawn by various appliances. The DC Amps column shows the approximate power drawn from the 
12 Volt supply.
