Will this be big enough to put a 1110 Watt Air conditioner (Sharp AFS125RX) on or should I use the 1800 watt unit?

Probably better off with larger unit--don't understand why you need it on AC at all?

i would think u would be fine with this, but inrush current might temporarily trip it into a higher warning state. The unit has red lights concerning too high or too low a power input state. i hope this helps.

I am using mine to protect a TV, so mine is lightly loaded. These line conditioners do not appear to be industrial type designs. My guess is that Tripp Lite stretches the ratings a little and rates them with straight resistive loads (like lights and heaters.) The AC is a largely inductive load, so when the AC compressor starts, there is a large in-rush current that rapidly drops back down. I suggest going bigger with the line conditioner is safer. Hope this helps.

I agree with the previous responder. The 1110 watt load is marginal for the unit. I would use the 1800 watt unit.

Use the larger unit. In-rush current will throw both sizes into a temporary under current condition. However, after the fan motor gets up to speed the line conditioner will return to normal state. If in the event a large outside under current occurs during A/C use, the circuit breaker located in the back of the LC1800 may trip.

All heters are the same really. 1500 watts is 5000 BTUs and it doesn't matter much after that. 13x14 worked fine for me but it depends on house insulation, and outside temperature. It was also supplemental, as the centeral heater was holding the rest of the house at 63.

I think you will be OK. If you do the math, 6X200 = 1200 watts. That's easily handled by wattsup. Be careful to connect the solar cells to the "source" end, also I would use a diode to prevent any chance of backflow, just as a safety feature.

As long as the air conditioners and the refrigerator do not exceed 3600 watts you should be fine. I recommend calling Xantrex 800.446.6180, as they would be able to tell you what would best fit your needs.

I have an 8,000 BTU FFRE0833Q1 A/C unit. From inside contact point to the outside end is 11 inches.

If the A/C unit power consumption is under or around 4,000 W it should...I would check the manual for power requirements...this may also be described on the manufacturer label where the serial number is.

i don' recomended you need a bigger like 2000 watts you can run 1000 watts continuous

In considering the size AC unit you need, the first thing to look at is the climatic region of the country in which you will use the system. If you are on the same latitude as Burlington NC our summer design is approx. 92 Deg. F. So it is considered middle of the road for the design of most units. We actually have a high humidity issue occasionally. The next thing to consider is the amount of radiant energy the room is exposed to, which you could call the solar(sun) exposure, first the total of perimeter walls in square footage and then the amount of glazing(window) square feet, as well as the R value rating of the windows. Next is the ceiling height, because with the mini-split units they are installed within 12 inches of the ceiling. To help you get a more practical overview. All these things will help you determine if you can stay with the basic manufacturers room size rating or have to get a little larger unit. Watch this video to help you get a better understanding of unit selection: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYHCc0DeDwA. Good luck. DCW

This unit is underpowered for any reasonable size space -- when they say 1,000 ft sq, they mean 1,000 cubic ft or about a 12x10x8 room, on full power. If it is the only unit on the circuit, get it serviced.

it all depends on the state that you live. But this is a good AC. You can get an idea by calculating the wattage used by this AC.

This one works great for us but I would suggest for a room the size you mention I'd buy a bit bigger one, say the 18,000 BTU.

Due to the fact that a ,larger fan and motor coil are used is one factor. the other and i'm not for certain, is a larger cooling unit.I could'n of made a better choice with my 2200cu.ft unit. My RV is 1300 cu ft. Turned unit on last week after Vacation 7/28/2014- checked it today and it collected well over 2 pints (1/2 a tank). I LIKE IT.. BILL

My unit is 34 by 34 inches and it works fine. My fan opening is only 27" square and that's the important factor. There are stretch cords to keep it in place

Assuming that is 25' x 25' x 10', I believe 1 unit would be challenged if you're in Northern Alberta - checking some weather info for Fort McMurray (a guess), I see 'average' lows of -10 F and minimum lows of -30 F over the last 20 years (and -58 F for the long-term). I set mine at 45 F for a 24' x 30' x10' (12' roof peak) metal building (not that well insulated) in Texas and with +8 F ambients, it was on 45 minutes/off 15. I did buy 2 but only put 1 in service, as that was acceptable to me. Also, there are recommended minimum clearances of 34" top and 68" below for these units; a 10' ceiling and a 12" unit height means you're almost at minimums (34" + 12" + 68" = 114" = 9'-6") to start. With the radiant heat flux off these units, the area directly below (or directly facing if you mount the unit at an angle, as I did) will get hot, so depending on what you're using the space for, there may be issues with localized 'hot spots'. Having a method to keep the air in the building/room well-distributed is also important (I used 2 ceiling fans) for several reason. The unit will consume O2 out of the air - about 1 cubic foot of O2 per minute. There is a recommended fresh air flow in of 160 CFM for this heater (high, IMO as a Chemical Engineer, but I'd want at least 50 CFM), so proper ventilation is also a concern if your room/building is 'tight'. You can better evaluate your specific application, but I believe one 40,000 BTU/Hr unit would be marginal in that size building (unless very well insulated) in the climate I think you're looking at.

I find one hundred watts equals one thousand BTU for Air conditioners the rating Is different for Electric heaters. My Generator runs My 10000 BTU Air conditioner just fine but 15000 BTU would be pushing It, a Air conditioner during start up can use 2 to 5 times more watts than when running If the start up Is more than 3 times Its Not going to have enough watts to start the Air conditioner by technical numbers that Is so I do Not know It might work. Its best to have a generator that puts out at least twice the amount of watts that You are going to be using so that the generator runs cool.

You should use the 11 watts as the instructions say. If you use a higher watt, you could damage the light

All depends of the size of the rooms and remember AC does not normally go around corners. Depends a lot on location of the unit ! Central air would help!!
