A Wor d About WHISTLER Power Inverters. WHISTLER inverters convert low voltage, direct curr ent (DC) to 110 volt alternating household current (AC). The AC output is called “modified sine wave”. See “T echnical Operating Principles” section for mor e information.
INVERTER BASICS Getting Started Power equipment and appliances which operate with motors or tubes requir e an initial surge of power to get them up and running.
INVERTER BASICS Don’t Push It. Although your WHISTLER inverter has the capacity to pro- vide power output (excess current) equal to appr oximately two times its rated wattage capacity for a very bri.
OPERA TION Making the Connection. This inverter is designed to connect to your 12 volt battery using the light socket plug or by the supplied battery cables (for appliances over 150 watts* 400 watt model). Making The Connection. 1.
