Operating instructions

circuits — to be sure you have not overloaded the circuit.
Important Note: If the house batteries are low when you first hook up to
shore power, and the inverter is turned on (as it should be), the inverter will
begin charging its batteries at a very high charging rate, drawing a lot of
shore power current. Until this demand reduces (see “The Inverter System”
below), you should turn “OFF” other high-current AC appliances such as
the water heater.
You can then turn on AC appliances as needed. Watch the ammeter to be sure you
don't exceed the dock's available supply, typically 30 amps.
Here are some estimates of AC power consumption for typical appliances:
Water Heater 15 amps Inverter up to 22 amps
Hair Dryer 12 amps TV 1.5 amps
Coffee maker 10 amps Microwave 12 amps
Toaster 12 amps Air Conditioning up to 40 amps
